New Delhi: In a shocking incident, a 22-year-old youth killed his father and chopped his body into 25 pieces, following an argument over a property dispute in the early hours of Wednesday in East Delhi, police said.
Aman was arrested, along with a friend, from outside his home in Shahdara while they were trying to dispose off the body.
According to the police, Aman runs a small cafe in the Farash Bazaar area of Shahdara.
He had been pestering his father, Sandesh Aggarwal, 48, to register a property, located in Bholanath Nagar, in his name.
With Aman’s elder brother and mother away in Manali for the past few days, the father and son were alone at home for the past few days.
