Man Kills Mother For Objecting To Marriage, Makes It Look Like Robbery
A 22-year-old man in Delhi was arrested for allegedly killing his mother after she refused to let him marry the woman of his choice and threatened to disinherit him, police said on Saturday. The man, identified as Sawan, initially made the crime look like a robbery.
He called the Delhi police control room on Friday night, telling them that his mother had been killed and that her earrings had been stolen.
However, upon investigation, the police did not find any signs of robbery. Other valuables were also found intact in the house, officials said.
Further investigations revealed that Sawan, the younger son of the victim, Sulochna, had killed her.
Sawan’s elder brother, Kapil (27), was scheduled to get married soon. Sawan told his mother that he also wanted to get married to a woman he had known FOR a long time, the accused told the police. However, his mother scolded him and refused to let him marry the woman. She also warned that if he ever brought up the topic again, she would cut him out of any share in the property, officials said.
Upset, Sawan allegedly made a plan to kill her.
After committing the crime, he removed his mother’s earrings to make it look like a robbery.
Sawan, who drove a car for transporting goods, used to give all his earnings to his mother, the police said.
