Chandigarh, August 14

A property dispute in a family took the turn for worse in Visakhapatnam area of Andhra Pradesh as a man hammered his 40-year-old son to death in a fit of rage.

Employed as a seaman in Mumbai, the victim, G Jalaraju, had come home only a week ago.

A father to a son and three daughters, the accused, G Veeraraju, who has been arrested, was having a property dispute with his children.

Captured on CCTV, the incident occurred on Wednesday as the father-son duo had an argument over the property and an agitated Veerarju clubbed Jalaraju to death at their house in Satyanagar.

In the video footage, the accused is purportedly seen walking calmly behind Jalaraju and picking up a hammer as the victim sits on the floor. The next moment the accused is seen telling the victim something before mercilessly hammering him to death.

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).
