Son’s cruelty in MP! The elderly father was first slapped and then beaten to death with a stick.

A heart-wrenching incident has come to light in village Rampuri Dawajhir under Chand police station of Chhindwara, MP. Here a son brutally murdered his own father, keeping aside his love and dignity. The only reason for the murder was that the son was troubled by the physical uncleanliness done by his elderly father. The police showed promptness and arrested the accused son.

Is this the reason for murder?

According to the information received, deceased Shankar Inwati lived with his middle son Jaisingh Inwati. On December 29, at around 4 pm, when Shankar was sitting near Inwati Bari, accused Jaisingh reached there. He shouted and accused his father, “You keep troubling me by doing a lot of dirt.”

The dispute escalated over this matter and in a fit of rage, Jaisingh first slapped his father and then picked up a heavy stick lying nearby and attacked him fiercely. The accused is also said to be under the influence of alcohol.

Elderly Shankar fell there due to serious injuries on his head and other parts of the body. After this, the accused and his wife picked him up, took him inside the house and made him lie down on the ground. The old man died after suffering from unbearable pain for about an hour. The accused had covered the father’s body with a sheet to hide the evidence and fear being caught.
