A 55-year-old man ended his life by suicide, after pushing his 26-year-old differently-abled son into a well, in Kervashe village, in Karkala taluk, on Saturday.
Krishna Poojary, after pushing his son Deepesh into a well, died by suicide in his house. He was said to be in depression after his wife Damayanthi Poojary was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai, in order to remove a blockage in her brain nerve.
According to police sources, Krishna had forced his son Deepesh, who was differently-abled since birth, to consume poison. But, the poison did not have any impact on Deepesh. Krishna later dragged his son and pushed him into a well.
Udupi Superintendent of Police Vishnuvardhan visited the spot.
