Police on Friday arrested a man for allegedly killing his father-in-law late on Thursday night.
A daughter of Biseswar Nag (72) of Danardanpur under Sundargar district's Lepripada police station had married one Lalit Oram (35). Since Lalit used to drink most of the time and used to torture his wife, the latter along with her children came and stayed in her father's house.
On Thursday night, Lalit reached his father-in-law’s house and wanted to meet his wife and children. But he saw Biseswar alone in the house. Soon, there was an altercation between them. In a fit of rage, Lalit picked up a stick and hit Biseswar severely, leading to his death on the spot.
Hearing screams, locals rushed to the spot and managed to nab Lalit. Then, they handed him over to the police.
