In a heartbreaking incident from Kasigawan village in Kanpur, a 35-year-old man allegedly murdered his 80-year-old mother after she refused to give him ₹40 for alcohol.
The accused, identified as Rajaram, reportedly broke open a locked door, dragged his mother Rajeshwari outside, and fatally assaulted her on the head before beating her to death.
Eyewitnesses said that after committing the crime, Rajaram attempted to flee but was caught by locals, who then handed him over to the police.
The brutal act has sent shockwaves across the community, raising concerns about how unchecked addiction can spiral into unimaginable violence.
The incident highlights the devastating consequences of substance abuse, which not only destroys individuals but also tears apart families. That a son could end the life of the very person who gave birth to him underscores the dangers of addiction when it overtakes human values and relationships.
