In a shocking incident, a 30-year-old man was beaten to death allegedly by his mother and her live-in partner in east Delhi's New Ashok Nagar, police said on Sunday. The incident occurred Saturday night, when the deceased, identified as Ravinder Pathak, raised objections to their illicit relationship, they said.
Investigations revealed that Pathak, a resident of Uttar Pradesh's Basti, had recently moved in with his mother. According to a senior police officer, the deceased stayed with his mother and her friend in a rented flat.
An altercation took place when Pathak, who worked as a driver in Noida found his mother and Ajeet in an objectionable position when he reached home after duty on Saturday night, the officer said.
The argument turned violent and the woman and her live-in partner hit Pathak on the head with a brick, resulting in his death, he added.
Later, Ajeet called up ambulance service. When the ambulance driver reached the spot, he saw Pathak lying in a pool of blood following which he informed police, the officer said.
The woman, however, managed to take Pathak's body to her daughter's house in Azadpur for cremation.
Her daughter suspected foul play and forced her to return with the body to New Ashok Vihar.
When the woman returned, she was nabbed by police, he said, adding her live-in partner has also been arrested.
