A shocking and gruesome crime has emerged from Palghar in Maharashtra, where a young man allegedly murdered his own father following a violent altercation over money. The horrific incident has left the local community in utter disbelief and highlighted the tragic outcomes of domestic disputes. Law enforcement agencies acted swiftly to track down the fleeing suspect, apprehending him across state borders within hours of the crime being reported.
Dispute Over Car Purchase Leads to Murder
The incident occurred inside a residential flat located in the Navali Ramanagar area of Palghar East. The victim has been identified as 59-year-old Mohanlal Parmar, and the accused is his 25-year-old son, Mukesh Parmar. At the time of the incident, the father and son were living together in the apartment, while Mohanlal's wife was away visiting her native village. On Sunday at around 4 pm, a heated argument broke out between them over demands for money to purchase a car. The confrontation escalated rapidly, and in a fit of rage, Mukesh used a mechanical grinder to slice his father's throat, inflicting fatal wounds that caused his death on the spot.
Discovery by Relatives and Swift Arrest
After committing the murder, Mukesh Parmar fled the scene immediately. Meanwhile, when relatives attempted to reach Mohanlal by phone and received no response, growing concern prompted them to send an acquaintance to check on him at the flat. Upon arriving at the residence, the acquaintance discovered Mohanlal's lifeless body and promptly alerted the Palghar police. Launching a rapid investigation, police traced the accused and successfully captured him from Bharuch in Gujarat within hours.
