GHAZIABAD: A 20-year-old youth allegedly killed his 52-year-old mother in a fit of rage in Loni Border’s Anand Vihar area on Wednesday morning.The accused has been identified as Manoj Kumar, a vegetable vendor, who lived with his mother Ramvati in a rented accommodation on the first floor of a two-storey building in Anand Vihar.His elder brother lives in a nearby colony Prem Nagar along with his family.Police said Kumar hit his mother several times on her head with a small LPG cylinder. One of the neighbour’s who lived on the same floor saw the crime and informed Kumar’s landlord Rajpal about it, who in turn, alerted Loni Border police and bolted Kumar’s house from outside. A police team soon reached Kumar’s house and arrested him as he could not get a chance to escape.Neighbours said Manoj used to frequently fight with his mother over the ownership of a plot of land that she owned in her native place in Aligarh. Ramvati wanted to give a share of the plot to her married daughter, but apparently Kumar was against the decision. He wanted the land to be shared just between the two brothers.Around 6 am on Wednesday, Kumar once again started arguing with Ramvati over the issue and in a fit of rage attacked her.SHO of Loni Border police station Shailendra Pratap Singh said, “The woman had died on the spot. Manoj was arrested from the house and later sent to jail for the murder of his mother. His brother Yogesh has filed a complaint against him.”
