The Noida Police have solved a blind murder case within days of finding a body in the Expressway Police Station area. Officials arrested the victim’s son, Satendra, on charges of killing his father. According to ADCP Manisha Singh, the primary motive behind this crime was a financial dispute involving vehicle loan payments. The police have successfully recovered the weapon used in the incident and processed the accused for court proceedings.
What led to the dispute between father and son?
The investigation revealed that the murder stemmed from an argument over money. The father had purchased a car for Satendra on an EMI plan. The monthly installments were being automatically deducted from the father’s bank account, with the understanding that Satendra would reimburse him.
However, police found that Satendra had stopped giving money to his father for the past few months. This created financial tension between them. When the father confronted his son about the pending payments, a heated argument broke out. In a fit of rage, Satendra attacked his father, leading to his death.
