Surat: The Gujarat police nabbed a youth for killing his father for reprimanding him over switching off the lights at their house in the Hari Darshan Society of the Amroli area in Gujarat. ACP RP Jhala said that the deceased, Ganesh Sawai, who hailed from Odisha, was survived by two sons. The accused was identified as Shankar and he suffers from mental illness.
Ganesh scolded his younger son, Shankar, for switching off the lights in the house, which enraged Shankar and as a result, he attacked his father with a stone on his head. Ganesh died on the spot and the older son informed the police when he returned from work and found Ganesh in a pool of blood. The police have taken Shankar into custody and registered a case against him. The police also commenced a probe into the incident and started enquiring the neighbours about the incident.

In a separate incident, a 22-year-old man smashed his aunt's head with a hammer and left her to die because she did not give him money and her car for a trip to Ladakh.
