On January 10, there was a quarrel between the accused Samsul Shafiqmiya and his son Phiroz Alam Samsul Haq when Shafiqmiya demanded money from the latter, an official attached with Niphad police station said.
Prima facie, Shafiqmiya, who was running a shop here, wanted Rs 2,000 from his son as he wanted to visit his home town in Vaishali district in Bihar. When his son refused to give the money, he allegedly hit him with a hammer, he added.
We have launched a manhunt to trace the accused and a case under relevant sections of IPC has been registered, police said, adding investigations are underway.
