A 40-year-old man in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district beheaded his father on Tuesday after he refused to give him Rs 10 to buy ‘gutkha’, police said.<\/p>\n

The accused went to a police station carrying the severed head to surrender himself, a senior officer said.<\/p>\n

“The man beheaded his 70-year-old father with a sharp weapon and surrendered at Chandua Police Station along with the severed head. His mother fled the spot. The murder took place following a heated exchange of words between the accused and his parents,” he said.<\/p>\n

The man who died was identified as Baidhar Singh.<\/p>\n

Baripada SDPO Pravat Mallick said, “The murder occurred over a petty issue. The accused became angry when his father refused to pay Rs 10 for ‘gutkha’, a tobacco product.” The police reached the village along with a forensic team, and an investigation is underway, the officer said.<\/p>\n
