Rajkot: A man was arrested on Saturday for allegedly stabbing his father to death in Yogeshwer Park locality of Jamnagar on Friday night.
Police said the accused, identified as Deepak Gondalia (33), had stabbed his father Dwarkadas Gondalia (60), after the latter scolded him for sitting idle and his drinking habits.
According to Dwarkadas’ wife Manju Gondalia, who lodged the complaint in the case, Deepak was unemployed and would spend his time on drinking alcohol. Angry at this, Dwarkadas would scold him, resulting in frequent quarrels between the father and the son.
“On the fateful night, when Deepak came home, Dwarkadas picked up a fight with him. As the altercation escalated, Deepak went into his room and came out with a knife with which he stabbed Dwarkadas in his chest,” said J L Vaghela, inspector with Jamnagar A division police station.
At present, the police have detained Deepak. Once his Covid-19 test is done, Deepak will be formally arrested.
