Mumbai crime: In a shocking incident that unfolded in Maharashtra, a 53-year-old man was killed by his son who bore a grudge against the deceased for scolding him. The police said that the deceased was working as a driver for a Bollywood actor in Mumbai.
According to the information, the Police have arrested the son of the deceased and registered a case under section 302 (Punishment for murder) of the Indian Penal Code.
Three days after being hit with an iron rod at his home in the suburban Andheri area, the man passed away while receiving treatment at a hospital on Saturday (July 1), the police official said.
Prima facie, the accused was angry with his father who had pulled him up around two months back for not doing any job, the official said. Further investigation is underway, he added.
