Gaya police reported that a son killed his father, who was undergoing treatment for blood cancer and had just returned from a dialysis session, by crushing him with bricks and stones. The incident occurred in a residential area of Gaya, Bihar, and the victim was found severely injured before succumbing to his injuries.
According to investigators, the motive appears linked to a longstanding land dispute between the father and his son, compounded by reports that the son was being pressured by his girlfriend to resolve the matter forcefully.
