Son files complaint against father
At the time of the incident, Ramguni's son Ashu was staying with a friend. After knowing about the incident, he filed a complaint with the police against his father. The injured have been admitted to the Government Medical College in Shahjahanpur, where they are getting treatment.
Complainant Ashu told police that his father was an alcoholic and had sold his agricultural land in the Shahabad area due to his addiction. Following this, her mother moved to Tikri village with all three children. However, his father suspected her of infidelity and therefore, would frequently visit her.
