strangledBijapur, Nov 17: The police arrested a person who has been accused of killing his father after allegedly being denied money to purchase a car. The police arrested Ajeeth Biradar on the charges of killing his father Shivangouda Biradar, an advocate residing at Raghavendra colony here.

The police said the accused Ajeeth was pestering his father for money ostensibly to buy a car, but his father refused. Frustrated by the constant refusals, he decided to kill his father.

According to the police, the motive behind the murder was not buying car, but to extract money to pay off his loans taken for gambling. The police said the accused Ajeeth had lost a large sum in gambling. He had borrowed a lot of money from private moneylenders, who were demanding repayment. The son who had no other way to pay money, asked the father to lend some money to buy car.

The father, who was aware of his son’s gambling habit, refused to heed. Following this, the son decided to eliminate the father hoping that after his death, he will be the owner of the property, police sources said.

The police said Mr. Biradar’s family had filed a complaint with Gol Gumbaz police station on October 10, where they said the deceased was missing since October 8.

The police first began collecting the call details of the deceased and his close relatives. During investigation, the police found that the mobile phones of the deceased and his son went off near Hungund town. This ‘coincidence’ evoked curiosity among the police that decided to interrogate some close friends of Ajeeth.

“During interrogation, one of the four accused who is also a friend of Ajeeth, confessed of being involved in the murder, but said the main accused and primary conspirator was Ajeeth,” the police said.

The police said the son convinced Mr. Biradar that a friend was selling a car at a cheap price. The father accompanied Ajeeth and his friends for a test drive. Here the accused strangled his father and dumped his body in Almatti dam backwaters.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.

Habitual drinkers were said to be consuming sanitisers that have alcohol content, apart from illicitly distilled arrack.

The police said two beggars near a temple were the first to fall victim on Thursday night. While one of them was found dead at the spot, another died in the government hospital in Darsi town, they said.

A third person was also taken to the Darsi hospital late on Thursday night after he fell unconscious but he was declared brought dead. Six others who fell ill after allegedly consuming sanitiser, died this morning.

Others who fell ill after consuming sanitiser are undergoing treatment at their residences in the village, the police added.
