PUNE: A 50-year-old man, his wife and their elder son were arrested for strangulating their younger son following a dispute in their house at Rahatni on Saturday evening.
The trio, Ramdas Vakhare (50), his wife Chanchal (48) and elder son Ganesh (30), initially created a scene by claiming that the younger son, Vijay (28), had ended his life by strangulating himself. “The police probe however revealed that the trio had strangulated the man to death. We have arrested them,” said senior inspector Vivek Mugalikar of the Wakad police.
He said the suspects had a brawl with Vijay over some dispute. “At the time, Vijay had assaulted his brother with a knife and had also bitten his father,” Mugalikar said adding, “They had lodged an FIR against Vijay.”
Furious by this, the trio on Saturday evening tied Vijay’s limbs with a rope and strangulated him to death, police said.
