Agartala:
In a shocking incident, a 24-year-old man beheaded his 55-year-old mother at Ratanpur in Tripura’s Khowai district following a dispute over money, the police said on Wednesday.
A police officer quoting the victim’s family members said that Haricharan Jhara asked for money from his mother Parbati Jhara, which she declined leading to a quarrel between the two.
“Haricharan allegedly chopped off Parbati’s head with a ‘Dao’ (a sharp-edged weapon) late on Tuesday night. We have arrested Haricharan along with the murder weapon,” the officer said.
Parbati’s body was found in a pool of blood inside her hut.
A forensic team has visited the spot and collected samples from the crime scene.
