The boy told police that his father came home late on June 7 and he was awake at the time. His father asked him to plug in the mobile charger, and then his mother came and told him to go to sleep as he had to wake up early in the morning. He went to the bedroom but couldn't sleep. After a while, he heard the main gate open, which his mother had opened. Uncle Kashi (the accused) and three other people were at the door.
The boy said he pretended to be asleep. After some time, he heard the sound of the cot and started peeking. One uncle was smothering his father's face with a pillow, while the others were holding his hands and feet. His mother was standing in front, watching everything.
"Mom had dad killed," he said.
After a while, when he reached there, Uncle Kashi picked him up and threatened him to keep quiet. The boy said that Uncle Kashi often came to their house when his father was not at home.
