The verdict was pronounced on Thursday by the fifth additional district and sessions court judge, who also imposed a penalty of Rs 10,000. The convict will have to serve six months of imprisonment in case he fails to pay the penalty.

The incident took place on January 14, 2017. Monu and his father Adam duo had a dispute related to property. Adam had a shop at Uppinangady. Adam questioned his son when the latter was found in the shop.

This led to an argument between the two. After hurling abuses, Aboobakker hit his father on his head using an iron rod. Adam was immediately taken to a hospital in Puttur and later shifted to a hospital in Mangaluru. However, he succumbed to injuries on January 16, 2017.

Following this, Uppinangady rural police booked Monu under Sections 504, 506, and 302 of IPC. Public prosecutor Uday Kumar argued on behalf of the government.
