A 31-year-old man allegedly stabbed his mother multiple times for refusing to fund his move to Canada. The incident took place in Molarband village in southeast Delhi's Badarpur area.

After killing his mother on the evening of November 6, the accused, Krishna Kant (31), called his father Surjeet Singh (52) and asked him to come home, the police said. When Singh reached home, the accused apologised and asked him to go upstairs and see for himself what he had done, Ravi Kumar Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police (southeast) said.

Upon reaching the first floor of the house, Singh found his wife Geeta lying in a pool of blood with multiple stab injuries on her body, he said, adding that during this time the accused managed to flee.  Singh immediately took Geeta to Apollo Hospital, where she was declared brought dead, the police said.

The DCP added Singh has two sons. While his younger son, Sahil Bholi (27), works in a bank, Kant was unemployed and addicted to drugs.  "Both sons are unmarried and at the time of incident only Geeta and the accused were present at home," the Kumar added.  Kant was later arrested from the same area and a case of murder was registered against him, the officer added.

During interrogation, he revealed that he wanted to migrate to Canada but his family wanted him to marry first.  On the day of the murder, an argument broke out between the mother and the son and Kant ended up stabbing Geeta with a knife he bought some time back, the police said. The father of the accused deals in properties and has an office located at Tanki Road in Jaitpur, the officer said.
