Friday, 17 May 2019 | Staff Reporter | NEW DELHI

Suspecting that his step-father had bad intentions towards his younger sister, a 20-year-old youth allegedly killed his stepfather following a quarrel with him in Dwarka’s Najafgarh area on Wednesday.

Police have arrested, the accused identified as Yogender, who had killed his step father Devender. They used to live at Baba Haridas Nagar in Najafgarh. Devender was 27-year-old and had married Yogender’s mother in 2012.

According to a senior police official, the incident took place on Wednesday afternoon and after killing his step-father, Yogender called the police and informed them that he had killed his step-father.  

“The police thereafter took the accused into custody. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was declared brought dead,” said the senior police official.

 “Initial probe suggests that the 45-year-old mother of the accused started living with Devender, a year after her husband passed away in 2011. The woman also has a seven-year-old son from Devender,” said the senior police official. 

During interrogation, the accused told the police that he suspected that Devender had bad intentions towards his 15-year-old sister.

“On Wednesday, a quarrel broke out between Yogender and his step-father Devender over some issue. When the argument turned ugly, he took out a knife and attacked his step-father,” said the senior police official.

“The deceased is a permanent resident of Aligarh and was staying here at Najafgarh. Police have recovered the knife used in crime. Further investigation is underway,” the senior police official added.
