“The accused also stabbed his mother when she tried to intervene and stop him, resulting in her sustaining injuries; she is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital. We have arrested the accused, Keerthi Teja, and he has been remanded,”.
Teja had recently returned back to Hyderabad from the US after completing his Master’s degree.
Primary investigations show Teja and his mother live in another part of Hyderabad. When mother and son visit the Rao’s house to get coffee an argument suddenly breaks out over the distribution of the property. All of a sudden Teja took out a knife and ‘attacked’ his grandfather. He also accused him of being indifferent towards him since his childhood and “refusing” to distribute the property to him.
