A drunkard allegedly beat his father to death for refusing to give him money to buy liquor at Sitha Nagar village in Papannapet mandal on Monday late night.
The victim, Langidi Lakshmaiah (48), was living with his wife and two sons by cultivating various crops on his two acres of land. His elder son Srikanth (25), who is married, was
addicted to liquor and reportedly harassed his parents daily, demanding money to buy alcohol.
On Monday night, Srikanth picked up an argument with his father over the same issue. When Lakshmaiah refused to give him money, Srikanth allegedly attacked him and beat him black and blue with a stick. Lakshmaiah died on the spot after bleeding profusely.
