According to investigations, the suspect, a unemployed man, had a heated argument with his father, a farmer, over family issues.
The argument escalated into a physical altercation, during which the suspect allegedly stabbed his father multiple times with a knife. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he received treatment for severe cuts and injuries. When questioned by police, the victim identified his son as the attacker and stated that the motive behind the assault was a disagreement over family matters and his son's refusal to heed his advice.
