In a heart-wrenching incident in Bengaluru's Kumaraswamy Layout, a father has been arrested for allegedly killing his 14-year-old son in a fit of rage late last night. The tragic event took place near the Yelachenahalli Gangotri Clinic, when Ravikumar, the father, reportedly attacked his son, Tejas, with a bat over a dispute concerning the boy's refusal to study and attend school.

According to the police, Ravikumar, who works as a carpenter, was upset with his son’s poor academic performance and lack of interest in school. The two had been arguing over Tejas's behaviour, which the father believed was influenced by bad company. The altercation escalated quickly, and Ravikumar allegedly assaulted his son, pushing him against a wall during the heated argument. This caused Tejas to suffer a severe head injury.
