A shocking familial dispute turned tragic when a 26-year-old man allegedly shot his father in Delhi's Timarpur area on Thursday, according to local police statements. The altercation arose over who would occupy the front seat of a hired tempo meant for the family's move to Uttarakhand.

The accused, Deepak, was arrested at the scene where officers found the murder weapon, a licensed firearm, and 11 live cartridges. The victim, Surendra Singh, a retired CISF sub-inspector, was declared dead upon arrival at HRH Hospital, having suffered multiple injuries from a gunshot to the face.
