A youth was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly shooting dead his father, an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI), who objected to his lifestyle and bad company, a senior officer said. The accused Mohit, in his 20s who is a resident of U- Block of the posh DlF Phase-3 here, was arrested from Jaipur, he said.
It may be recalled that on September 18, ASI Naresh Yadav, 46, posted with the Faridabad Police was found dead at his residence with bullet wounds on his body.
“During investigation, the involvement of his son Mohit was suspected as neighbours said the father-son duo often had heated arguments. In the CCTV footage, Mohit was seen terrified and worried before he left the house,” Gurgaon Police PRO and ACP Manish Sehgal said.
Neighbours told police that in the morning when crime happened, all family members, including Mohit, were at home but after the incident, not a single person was seen, Sehgal said.
Police teams raided the houses of Mohit’s relatives in Delhi and NCR, other places and even in Rishikesh in Uttarakhand.
He was finally nabbed him from Jaipur with the help of technical surveillance, the officer added. “During interrogation, Mohit said he was annoyed with his father and killed him as he opposed his activities. Yadav rebuked him when he came home late and in an inebriated state,” Sehgal said.
“His father wanted him to stay away from criminal activity and bad elements,” he added. Mohit will be produced before a court and police will seek his remand for further interrogation, he added.
