A 22-year-old man has been accused of fatally shooting his father in Nara village, Prayagraj, following a dispute over the father’s earnings, according to local police. The victim, identified as 48-year-old Ramnaresh Kori, a sanitation worker at the collectorate office, was en route to his workplace in Manjhanpur on Monday when the incident occurred.
Information was available with The Chenab Times that the alleged assailant, Rahul, asked his father to stop their motorcycle near BP Public School in Manjhanpur town. As Ramnaresh Kori complied, his son reportedly fired two shots into his chest using a country-made pistol before fleeing the scene. Ramnaresh Kori was transported to SRN Hospital in Prayagraj in critical condition but succumbed to his injuries later that evening.
Manjhanpur Circle Officer Shivank Singh stated that initial investigations point towards a family dispute concerning finances as the primary motive behind the killing. It is alleged that Ramnaresh Kori was not adequately meeting the financial needs for his children’s education and household expenses, which allegedly led to conflict.
Ramnaresh Kori resided separately from his wife, Sudha Devi, and their children—Rahul, Arun, Ankit, and Bittan Devi—in the village. He lived with his elder brother, Rakesh, in Manjhanpur. An First Information Report (FIR) has been registered in connection with the case based on a complaint lodged by Rakesh.
The local police have formed three teams to apprehend Rahul, who remains at large. The incident highlights a tragic manifestation of domestic discord escalating to extreme violence, prompting a swift response from law enforcement to ensure justice and apprehend the accused.
