After receiving a call from his father, Ved Prakash, the son rushed downstairs from his first-floor room only to discover his father dragging his mother’s lifeless body from the bathroom, as relayed by the authorities.
When questioned by his son Akash, Prakash admitted to the police that he had used a dupatta to strangle Sushila (50) to death.
Accompanied by his son, the father transported the body to a hospital on Wednesday morning, as reported by the police.
Hospital authorities confirmed that she had already passed away before arriving at the medical facility.
The hospital authorities reported the incident to the police, an official disclosed.
Additionally, it was noted that the woman’s body displayed multiple injury marks, including those indicative of strangulation.
The official stated, “The son informed us that he resided on the first floor of their residence in Madangir, while his parents occupied the ground floor.”
He further revealed that his father frequently engaged in disputes and altercations with his mother concerning her decision to go to work.
The police explained that, according to Akash, his mother had previously filed a domestic violence case against Prakash, which was undergoing proceedings in the Saket District Court.
However, due to societal pressure, she chose to withdraw the case when Akash got married.
Akash informed the police, “On Tuesday night, my father and mother had an argument because she had gone out for work,” and at approximately 6 am on Wednesday, “I received a phone call from my father.”
“When Akash arrived at the scene on the ground floor,” PTI quoted the official as recounting, “he observed his mother being pulled from the bathroom by his father. It appeared that his mother was unconscious. When he inquired of Prakash, he confessed that there had been a confrontation with Sushila, and he had strangled her to death using a dupatta, afterward placing the body in the bathroom.”
Later on Wednesday morning, the father and son transported the body to the hospital.
Following this, Prakash was apprehended and subsequently incarcerated, according to the police.
