Lucknow: A 24-year-old youth addicted to drugs allegedly killed his mother after a fight with her for money to buy intoxicants at their house in Ghaziabad’s Aman Garden area on Friday night, police said.
ACP Loni Suryabali Maurya said the man, Shahrukh, walked to the Loni police station and submitted a complaint after murdering his 65-year-old mother Dilshad Begam.
“On Saturday, around 5am, Shahrukh reached the police station and said his mother had been killed. A police team found the woman in a pool of blood with several stab wounds at their residents in Ashok Vihar colony. The body was sent for autopsy,” the ACP said.
During the probe, Shahrukh told the interrogators that he had a scuffle with Begum as she refused to give him money to buy drugs. “When she went to sleep in her room, he stabbed her with a dag knife several times. He then tried to clean up the blood-soaked floor and reached the police station to file a complaint.”
According to cops, Shahrukh is an addict and often has arguments with his mother. “Shahrukh worked as a mechanic around 2-3 months back but was currently unemployed. He suspected his mother wanted to sell off their house,” Maurya said.
A case on charges of murder was registered and Shahrukh was arrested, Loni SHO Anil Rajpoot said.
