22-year-old kills his father, a convicted felon, who was released from jail in December 2024
ROURKELA seems to be in the grip of a murder epidemic as another brutal killing of a 60-year-old man rocked the steel city on Sunday night.
Twenty-two-year-old Bishnu Verma beat his father Kranti Kumar Verma to death with an iron pipe at Bhalupatra village in Brahmani Tarang, around 10 km from Rourkela city.
Kranti, a convicted felon, was released from jail in December 2024. Police attributed the murder to Bishnu's personal dislike for his father who had murdered his grandmother in 2009.
