Son Murders Father, Dismembers Body, Hides in Blue Drum in Lucknow

• The deceased's son, Akshat Pratap Singh, a B.Com student, confessed to the murder after police interrogation.
• The murder occurred on February 20, following an argument between father and son over pressure to prepare for competitive exams.
• Akshat shot his father with a rifle, then dismembered the body, hiding some parts in a drum and disposing of others near Sadrauna village.
