A 26-year-old laborer from Bihar, who was allegedly on the run after murdering his father in July, was arrested by Saroli police in Surat. Investigators stated that a family dispute over money was the motive behind the killing. The accused, Shivshankar Sahani, reportedly murdered his father, Raghuvir Sahani, on the night of July 26 while he slept.
Sahani allegedly committed the crime after his father repeatedly quarreled with him and his wife due to his inability to send money home because of heavy rains in Surat. After the murder, Sahani fled Bihar and moved between various states to evade capture.
Following a police complaint by his mother, Bihar police initiated a search. Sahani was eventually apprehended in Surat, where he had returned and was working for a transport firm. He has since been handed over to the Bihar police.
