A 20-year-old man was arrested for allegedly killing his paralysed father in Delhi’s Anand Parbat area, police said on Monday.<\/p>\n
The accused has been identified as Sumit Sharma.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
He was shifted to RML Hospital where an autopsy was conducted on Saturday, the officer said.<\/p>\n
The autopsy revealed it to be a case of strangulation.<\/p>\n
During the investigation, the statement of a neighbour who was drinking with Sharma and his son till 6.30 pm on the day of the incident was recorded, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Shweta Chauhan said.<\/p>\n
The accused alleged that their neighbour killed his father. However, after sustained interrogation, he confessed to the crime, the police said.<\/p>\n
The accused said his father was paralysed and he had to take care of him alone.<\/p>\n
He added that Sharma was an alcoholic and the two of them had been consuming alcohol since the morning on the day of the incident.<\/p>\n
In the evening, Sharma urinated on his bed and the accused allegedly strangled him out of frustration, Chauhan said.<\/p>\n
Sharma’s wife left the family years ago as he allegedly used to assault her after consuming alcohol, the police said.<\/p>\n
He used to work in a factory before taking up driving an autorickshaw. He was paralysed in 2020, they added.<\/p>\n
