A 32-year-old unemployed youth was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly stabbing his father to death and causing serious injuries to his mother. The accused told the police that his parents loved his siblings more than him and discriminated against him.
According to the police, Rishab allegedly attacked his mother Chander Mehta and father Sushil Mehta with a kitchen knife causing them serious injuries on the neck at their house in Laxmi Garden late on Monday evening following a minor altercation. His mother managed to free herself and escaped to his paternal uncle’s house in the neighbourhood. However, Sushil could not escape on account of old age and sustained fatal injuries. He was declared brought dead at Sector 10 government hospital, while Chander has been referred to AIIMS.
The couple’s younger son Mayank had gone to buy vegetables when the attack took place. He returned home on being alerted. When he tried to intervene, he also sustained minor injuries.
Rishab was booked for murder and attempt to murder. He was produced before a court and sent to judicial custody. The police said that Rishab was mentally unstable.
