NEW DELHI: Delhi Police has arrested a 28-year-old man for allegedly stabbing to death his elderly father in south Delhi’s Fatehpur Beri following an argument over money on Sunday.
The incident came to light after police received a call that a man had been stabbed near Mandir Bhim Basti in Jonapur. A police team that reached the spot found that the injured had been taken to AIIMS. At the hospital, cops found that the injured, 61-year-old Manohar, a resident of the basti, was stabbed multiple times in his abdomen by a sharp object.
Deputy commissioner of police (south) Atul Thakur said that the injured was unfit for statement. “An inquiry revealed that the wife of the injured man had died earlier and he lived with his son Balwan alias Vikky. During an argument on Sunday, Balwan asked his father for some money. But when the father refused to give him money, they had an argument during which the son stabbed the man,” the DCP said, adding the man and his son used to have such arguments often.
