UP, December 12, 2024 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau)- After days of spreading a misleading statement, the minor son of a scientist allegedly confessed to killing his mother in their home in Uttar Pradesh’s Gorakhpur, PTI reported.
Aarti Verma died after her head crashed against a wall on December 3. And her son, a class 11 student, claimed that she died of an accidental fall, misleading his father and the police.
During a detailed investigation, the truth came to the light, said Jitendra Kumar Srivastava, Superintendent of Police (North).
“After two hours of questioning, the teenager admitted that he pushed his mother during an argument, leading to a fatal head injury,” he said.
Aarti’s husband Ram Milan, an assistant scientist at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Chennai, only found about his wife’s death four days later.
After reaching his wife’s switched-off phone for two days, Milan asked his sister-in-law to check in on the house on December 7. But the house was locked from outside.
When he returned to Gorakhpur the following evening, he found Aarti’s body on the floor, police said.
Their son was then found near a Shiva temple and he initially told his father and the cops that his mother died after a fall, claiming he locked the house in a panic and wandered aimlessly for four days.
Summary: In Uttar Pradesh, a man initially claimed his mother died from an accidental fall but confessed to her murder days later during police questioning.
