Father allegedly kills son fearing property share demand
Latur. In Maharashtra’s Latur district, a father has been accused of killing his own seven-year-old son over greed for property. According to police, the accused feared that his son from his second marriage would in the future demand a share in ancestral property. Over this dispute, he allegedly strangled the child to death and threw the body into a drain in a field behind the house. Police have arrested the accused father.
The deceased has been identified as Arman Yusuf Syed, while the accused has been named as Yusuf Mubarak Syed, 58. According to police, the accused has two wives. He had transferred his house in the name of his son from his first wife. His second wife was also demanding a share in the family property for her son Arman. The couple often argued over this issue.
Police said CCTV footage revealed the killing. On the night of November 5, the accused left the house with Arman, but both did not return. The child’s mother filed a missing person complaint, after which police registered a case of kidnapping and began a search. During the investigation, the accused was found in Parbhani, but the child was not with him.
Police then examined footage from CCTV cameras installed around the house. It showed the accused holding the child’s hand and going towards the field behind the house, while about an hour later he was seen returning alone. When police showed him the footage and questioned him, the accused allegedly confessed to the crime. On his information, the child’s body was recovered from the drain on Sunday. Police are continuing further investigation into the case.
