Bengaluru, Aug 29: In a shocking incident, a youth gouged out his father’s eye with a set of car keys after a clash over a property dispute yesterday in the city.

The accused Abhishek Chethan (35) was arrested by the police while his father S S Parameshwar was admitted a hospital after the coldblooded attack.

According to police the son had been pressuring his father to sign over a property in JP Nagar to him. “The accused entered his father’s house at Shakambari Nagar on Tuesday morning while he was performing a ceremony to mark one month of his wife’s death and attacked him,” said a police officer.

Parameshwar was badly injured as his son allegedly gouged out one of his eyes with the keys and damaged the other.

Abhishek then allegedly pushed his father down and tried to escape. However, the neighbours heard the screams of a family member and when Abhishek tried to flee, they chased him, nabbed him and handed him over to the police.

He has been arrested on the charge of attempt to murder. The neighbours took Parmeshwar, who was bleeding profusely, to a hospital in an autorickshaw. “Doctors told us that they are trying to restore partial eyesight,” said the police.

Abhishek, who works in an automobile company, is the oldest of three children, and lived on the second floor of a building owned by his father.

Parameshwar resided on the first floor. According to the police, soon after their mother passed away last month, Abhishek allegedly got into a fight with his younger brother.

He wanted a house in J P Nagar to be given to him, even though his father had refused his past requests. On Tuesday morning, he visited his father to discuss the matter. Parameshwar opposed his claim, and in a fit of rage, Abhishek allegedly punched his father with a key and gouged out his right eye-ball. He then punched his left eye,” said the police.
