Bhopal: A 20-year-old NEET aspirant, struggling with mobile phone addiction, fatally attacked his mother and left his father in critical condition. The incident took place in Sikandra village panchayat, under the jurisdiction of Waraseoni police station in Madhya Pradesh's Balaghat district. Reports indicate that the student, Satyam Katre, had dropped out of an institute in Kota last August and returned home.

His injured parents were immediately taken to Gondiya in neighboring Maharashtra for medical treatment.

Waraseoni’s Subdivisional Police Officer, Abhishek Chaudhary, stated that the accused admitted to the crime, revealing that his parents frequently scolded him for not focusing on NEET preparation, as they wanted him to become a doctor.

The police have arrested the accused and charged him with murder and attempted murder. His mobile phone has been confiscated, and a detailed investigation is currently in progress.
