Bhubaneswar,(Orissa Today) Feb 10 : In a shocking incident, a 50-year-old man was allegedly murdered by his son following a family dispute in Banshpani village under Joda police station limits in Keonjhar district on Sunday. The deceased has been identified as Ajay Sethi, while his son, Bikash Sethi, was arrested on Monday in connection with the crime.
According to reports, Bikash had been pressuring his father to allow him to marry a girl of his choice. However, Ajay insisted that his son focus on his career first and secure employment before getting married. This disagreement led to frequent arguments between the two.
