A father in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, is arrested for allegedly killing his son after suspecting him of plotting to kill him. According to police reports cited by both outlets, the incident follows a family dispute, after which the father believed his son had planned a contract killing. The father allegedly shot his son dead while the two were in a car, according to the Hindustan Times report. NDTV similarly reports that police arrest the father over suspicion of a “plot to kill” linked to the dispute, describing an allegation involving a purported ₹10 lakh contract killing arrangement.

Both accounts attribute the motive to tensions within the family and the father’s suspicion that the son intended to harm him. Police investigation is ongoing, with authorities examining the circumstances that led to the shooting and the basis for the father’s claims. The arrests and allegations have been made by the police; further legal proceedings would depend on the evidence collected during the investigation.
