ULHASNAGAR: A 50-year-old man was arrested after he killed his son following a dispute with his daughter-in-law over not cooking vegetables properly here on Sunday. Krishna (24) was residing with his wife, Rekha (19), and his father, Shantaram Ujjainkar , at Shastri Nagar, near Vithalwadi.

Police said Rekha served dinner to Shantaram when Krishna was at work. But Shantaram threw it into a gutter, which upset Rekha. When Krishna reached home, his father informed him about the dispute, so he abused his wife.

After dinner, when Krishna went out for a walk, Shantaram again had an argument with Rekha and hit her in her abdomen, police said. Krisha saw his father assaulting his wife.

Central police station subinspector S K Shere said, “When Krishna told his father to not assault his wife, Shantaram assaulted him and he died on the spot.”
