A youth has been arrested for killing his father by ramming his head against a wall after an argument on Sunday evening at Karawal Nagar in north-east Delhi, police said.

Lotan Chaudhary, 40, a native of Nepal’s Kanchanpur district, lived in rented accommodation at Mangat Ram Marg in Johripur with his wife Sunita and son Joglal, 20.

“Lotan was taken to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital by Joglal and elder son Naresh. He was declared brought dead. Joglal claimed that Lotan used to abuse him after consuming alcohol,” a senior police official said.

Joglal said he always felt his father liked his stepbrother Naresh more than him. Naresh told police that he had gone to visit Lotan at 6 pm on Sunday and had seen Lotan and Joglal arguing. He intervened and took Joglal to his room and then left with his wife Roopa.

“Around 7 pm, Joglal called Naresh’s and informed that Lotan was injured in a scuffle with him,” the official added. Naresh immediately returned home and found Lotan lying in a pool of blood, following which he was taken to hospital.

Joglal was arrested and a case of murder was lodged with Karawal Nagar police station.
“Joglal has confessed to have committed the crime,” the official said. His father’s body was handed over to the family after a post-mortem on Monday.
