Kolkata: 60-year-old found dead after row with son

KOLKATA: A 31-year-old man allegedly assaulted his father, leading to the latter’s death in Tangra on Monday. The deceased’s wife submitted a complaint without accusing anyone. The man was detained for questioning, but was allowed to attend his father’s last rites.
Babu Das, 60, and his son, Raja, used to have frequent quarrels over Raja’s alcohol abuse. “On Sunday night, Raja came home drunk and got into an argument with Das. Troubled by the row, Raja’s mother Sova, 52, went to a neighbour’s place for the night. On Monday, she found Das on the floor near the door with bruises on his body and blood around his nose,” said an officer.
“The probe is on, but the post-mortem report is still inconclusive,” said DC (ESD) Ajoy Prasad.
