A man frustrated with his teen son watching obscene videos on his phone and teasing girls in school poisoned his drink and killed him in Maharashtra’s Solapur last month, the police said. The man, identified as Vijay Battu, has been arrested.
On January 13, the police received a missing person’s report about a teen. Soon, they were alerted about a boy’s body being found.
The family identified the body as their missing son Vishal and a subsequent autopsy revealed he was poisoned.
The police registered a case of murder and began questioning the family. Noting discrepancies in their responses, the police took the boy’s father into confidence, who soon broke down and confessed to the crime, the police said.
According to the police, Mr Battu claimed his son would not study. He used to tease girls in his school and watch obscene videos on his phone, he allegedly told the cops. Vishal turned a deaf ear to his parents’ requests asking him to mend his ways. Soon, complaints started coming in from his school as well, he further said.
