A 64-year-old man in Thiruvananthapuram has been arrested for trying to kill his son's friend. The incident happened during a fight when the father, Satheesh Kumar from Kadakampally, tried to stop his son and his friends from using drugs. The man he attacked is his son's 32-year-old friend, Vijin Victor.

According to the police, Satheesh Kumar was angry because Vijin kept supplying his son with ganja and liquor, even after he had been warned many times. The argument took place on Saturday evening near the Karikkakom railway bridge. That's when Satheesh Kumar allegedly tried to stab Vijin with a knife.
