New Delhi, February 6

A 20-year-old man was arrested for allegedly killing his paralysed father in Delhi’s Anand Parbat area, the police said on Monday. The accused has been identified as Sumit Sharma.

The police received information regarding the death of a man, identified as Jitendra Sharma, around 9 pm on Friday. When they reached the spot, they found Sharma lying unconscious in his bed, a senior officer said.

He was shifted to RML Hospital where an autopsy was conducted, the officer said. The autopsy revealed it to be a case of strangulation.

During the investigation, the statement of a neighbour who was drinking with Sharma and his son on the day of the incident was recorded.

The accused alleged that their neighbour killed his father. However, after sustained interrogation, he confessed to the crime, the police said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
