CHANDIGARH: A retired Punjab Police assistant sub-inspector allegedly shot at his son following a heated argument on the night of May 21.

The complainant, 48-year-old Kulwant Singh, who works as a yoga instructor at the College of Yoga Education and Health, Sector 23, Chandigarh, accused his 74-year-old father, Kundan Singh, of firing at him in a fit of rage.

According to Kulwant's detailed police statement, the incident took place around 7.30 pm when he was in the kitchen heating milk for his two young sons—aged seven and three.

His father, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, began abusing him and conversing aggressively with someone over the phone. When Kulwant asked him to stop, his father reportedly got angrier. In the commotion, the glass in Kundan's hand broke, injuring his thumb.
