A man lost his cool on Sunday morning and hit his 23-year-old son with a stick at Velugodu in the district for his unruly behaviour in the house, leading to his death.
According to the police, Narayana, a daily labourer, got addicted to alcohol and used to pick up quarrels with his parents and people in the neighbourhood. Peeved at his behaviour, his father Ramakrishna hit Narayana with a stick. As the blow landed on Narayana’s head, he collapsed in front of their house and died.
Police have taken Ramakrishna into custody and have begun an inquiry.
