The accused alleged that their neighbour killed his father. However, after sustained interrogation, he confessed to the crime, the police said. The accused said his father was paralysed and he had to take care of him alone.

He added that Sharma was an alcoholic and the two of them had been consuming alcohol since the morning on the day of the incident. In the evening, Sharma urinated on his bed and the accused allegedly strangled him out of frustration, Chauhan said.

Sharma's wife left the family years ago as he allegedly used to assault her after consuming alcohol, the police said. He used to work in a factory before taking up driving an autorickshaw. He was paralysed in 2020, they added.
