26-year-old man killed by father in Odisha’s Bhadrak

Bhadrak: A 26-year-old man was allegedly killed by his father in Odisha’s Bhadrak district Wednesday, police said.

The incident took place in Chunida in the Bhadrak Rural police station area, they said.

The father-son duo frequently quarrelled over financial issues. About four days ago, they had lodged police complaints against each other.

Police said they had called both of them to the station and advised them to stay separately.

However, a quarrel broke out again between them, and Rabi Sahoo allegedly locked his daughter-in-law inside the house and attacked his son Bikash with a sharp weapon.
