A father angered by his teenager son’s addiction to watch pornographic films on his smartphone has chopped off his right hand from the wrist.
After the incident the father Mohammed Abdul Qayyum Qureshi surrendered at the Pahadishareef police station in the old city of Hyderabad on Monday.
According to the police Abdul Qayyum, a resident of Jalapally Colony had been warning his 19-year-old son Khalid Qureshi for quite some time against spending too much time on his smartphone, specially watching the porn.
Khalid who was working as an assistant in a TV cable operator’s office was as usual watching movies on his mobile on Sunday when his father caught him red-handed. When he tried to snatch the phone from his hand Khalid bit his father’s hand and fled from home. After returning home late in the night he continued to watch the movies which led to further altercation on Monday.
An angry Abdul Qayyum, butcher by profession used his knife to chop off Khalid’s right hand. While other shocked family members and neighbors rushed him to hospital, Abdul Qayyum went to police station and surrendered to the police informing officer on duty about his action.
Khaled was admitted to Osmania General Hospital where doctors said that as his hand was severed 90%, possibility of its restoration was bleak.
According to the family members, Khalid, one of the four children of Qayyum was lethargic and used to spent most of his time on phone. After much persuasion he had recently joined the private job but was irregular at work.
Pahadishareef police has booked an attempt to murder case against Abdul Qayyum and was remanded to judicial custody.
