Brahmjit and his wife, Sumitra, of Pakasma village, Rohtak, were allegedly bludgeoned to death by their son. Some domestic dispute over money is stated to be the reason behind the murder.

The bodies of the man and his wife were found lying in Naunand village, which is located near Pakasma, on Sunday. The police have registered a case and arrested the son, Pawan, alias Boda (26). Pawan used to live with his parents in the village.

SHO (Sampla) Kulbeer Singh said Pawan murdered his parents with an iron pipe and had confessed to the crime.

In a complaint lodged with the police, Sumitra’s brother, Ram Mehar, stated that Brahmjit and Pawan had gone to sell their produce at the grain market in Kharkhauda township of Sonipat district on Saturday, where he had met them.

“An altercation had broken out between Brahmjit and Pawan over some monetary matter at the grain market in my presence. I intervened and tried to resolve the matter, but Pawan threatened his father with dire consequences,” he said.

“On Sunday, I was informed that my sister and brother-in-law have been murdered. I was sure Pawan had killed his parents,” Ram added.

The police have registered an FIR under Sections 302, 201 and 506 of the IPC.
