The Basaveshwaranagar police on Saturday arrested a 55-year-old churmuri vendor for allegedly killing his alcoholic son in a fit of rage and trying to make it look like a suicide.
The accused Prakash, a resident of Basaveshwaranagar, was upset with his only son Yogesh being addicted to alcohol. Yogesh was studying BBA third semester and the duo would have frequent fights over the issue.
On March 6, the duo fought after Prakash warned him not to come home drunk. In the melee, Prakash strangled him to death and later made it look like Yogesh ended his life, said the police.
