Udupi, Feb 20: In a gruesome incident, a youth allegedly murdered his father in a drunken stupor in the wee hours of Thursday February 20.

The deceased has identified as Narayana Naik (60). The incident was reported at Bidkalkatte which is on the border of Udupi and Kundapur.

It is learnt that Narayana Naik’s son Narasimha (26) came home heavily inebriated and picked a quarrel with his father. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a sickle and wooden stick and hit Narayana, injuring him fatally.

According to the sources the incident took place at around 3 am and Narayana Naik succumbed to injuries at around 4:30 am on Thursday. Narayana lay on the ground outside the house and other family members gave him water even as Narasimha watched. The son then went to sleep, it is said.

Narasimha is the second among Narayana's four sons and two daughters. An alcoholic, he would come home drunk every night and create a scene, sources said. He does coolie work to earn his living.

Earlier too, Narayana had filed a complaint in Kota police station about the misbehaviour of his son due to his alcohol addiction, sources said.

Narasimha surrendered himself before the police and was arrested. A case has been registered in Kota police station.
