Telangana: Son kills father over betting money

Rangareddy (Telangana) [India], July 3 (ANI): In a shocking incident, a son brutally killed his father with a knife in an area under the Gachibowli police station limits in Rangareddy, as per officials.
The incident occurred when the accused, identified as Ravinder Nayak, lost his father's money after investing it in online betting games. When questioned repeatedly by his father, the son killed him.
According to police officials, the son had called his father to a spot under the pretext that his friends would return the money.
However, when the father arrived on the spot, the son brutally stabbed the father, attempting to stage it as a suicide.
According to a police official, "In NTR Nagar Gopanapalli, a son killed his father by stabbing him with a knife. Yesterday, the accused called his father to a place, saying that his friends would give him money. When the father arrived, the accused killed him by stabbing him in the neck."
"The reason behind the murder is that the deceased father had borrowed Rs 6 lakhs by mortgaging his land, and his son had invested the money in online betting and lost it. After the father found out, he repeatedly asked his son about the money, which led to a grudge. The accused planned to kill his father, called him to the spot, and murdered him.

However, the relatives became suspicious, questioned the accused, and he confessed to the crime," the police further stated.
