Drug addict kills parents for money in Kishanganj

PATNA: A 25-year-old unmarried youth allegedly killed his parents by slitting their throats after the latter refused to give him money for purchasing drugs in Kishanganj district on Wednesday.
The accused, Mohd Dildar Hussain, was arrested by police early on Thursday with the help of some local residents when he was trying to escape from his house located at Dudhauti village under the Thakurganj police station area.
Kishanganj Sadar sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) Anwar Javed said on Thursday Dildar first attacked his mother Zainab Khatoon (62) with a sharp-edged weapon when she was sleeping on the veranda of the house. When his father Fazlu Rahman intervened, he was also attacked with the same weapon causing grievous injuries. He, however, succumbed to his injuries on the way to a hospital at Kishanganj district headquarters.
“The information about the incident came to the police station concerned at around 12.30am. A police team was sent to the spot, which took the accused into custody,” the SDPO told this newspaper. Later in the day, an FSL team visited the spot and collected blood samples.
The SDPO said some local residents told the investigating officers that the accused used to consume drugs, which enraged his parents. Earlier in the day, Dildar had an altercation with his father over the issue of money.
The family had also visited a sorcerer for the treatment of Dildar, the youngest among the three children of the deceased couple. Dildar’s two elder brothers work with a private company in New Delhi and were not present at the time of the incident.
