Karnal police have arrested a man for allegedly killing his 75-year-old grandfather, Darshan Singh in Badagaon village. Police claimed that a long-running family dispute over agricultural land led to the murder.
The accused, identified as Sonu, was arrested from Karnal on Friday morning. After undergoing a medical examination, he was produced before a local court, which remanded him to police custody for further interrogation.
Sonu allegedly shot his grandfather dead on Thursday afternoon.
Meanwhile, police handed over the body to the family members after the post-mortem.
