Overview
- Police say a heated argument over money on Sunday led 28-year-old Mukesh Parmar to leave home, buy a heavy-duty electric grinder and return to fatally slit his 55-year-old father Mohanlal Parmar’s throat.
- The victim was found by a family acquaintance after the younger son could not reach his father and alerted police to severe neck injuries at the Ramnagar home.
- Officers tracked Mukesh to Bharuch in neighbouring Gujarat and arrested him within about an hour of the discovery; he was remanded to police custody for five days.
- Investigators completed a panchnama, sent the body for post-mortem and have registered a murder case while describing a preliminary motive tied to property sale proceeds and the accused’s debts.
- The victim ran a utensils shop in Dadar, the family’s matriarch was away at the time, and police say further forensic results and inquiries will be needed to confirm details and any wider implications for the case.
