CHENNAI: Angry that his father, a police official, was taking care of his disabled uncle and aged grandfather despite objections from him and his mother, a 21-year-old shoved his father which resulted in his death.
The incident happened about 10 days ago, and after the man died at the hospital on Wednesday morning, the Neelankarai police arrested the youth, a college student, on charges of murder.
The deceased was identified as Vijaybaskar (52) of Palavakkam, who was posted as a sub-inspector in the special branch-CID wing in the Chennai airport. According to officials, Vijaybaskar has a younger brother who is suffering from disability and is living with their 85-year-old father in a separate house in Palavakkam.
As there is nobody else to look after his father and brother, Vijaybaskar would often visit their house and help them. Police said his wife and son Subash, a third-year college student, did not like Vijaybaskar visiting that house often. This led to arguments within the family, almost every day.
Ten days ago, when Vijaybaskar returned home from his father's house, Subash did not allow him inside the house. In the midst of the argument, the son pushed him. Vijaybaskar fell down and suffered severe head injuries, and was rushed to a private hospital in Adyar.
After the incident, Subash was arrested and was remanded in custody. On Wednesday morning, Vijaybaskar succumbed to the injuries without responding to treatment.
Following this, the Neelankarai police registered a murder case against Subash.
