PARENTS BURN THEIR 42-YEAR-OLD SON ALIVE AT HOME!

In a horrific act, a couple burnt their 42-year-old son alive in Telangana's Warangal Rural district on Tuesday, the police said.

Fed up with his alcoholic habits and harassment for money, K Prabhakar and Vimala tied up K Mahesh Chandra who was working as a clerk in Warangal Agriculture Market, poured petrol and set him ablaze.

Mahesh, father of a son and a daughter, was a habitual alcoholic and his wife had gone to her parents' house two months ago. Since then, Mahesh began beating and harassing his parents for money.

On Tuesday night, he came drunk and began beating his parents. Unable to bear the treatment, they tied him to a pole and burnt him alive.

The police from Damera rushed to the spot and shifted the body for autopsy. A case was registered against Mahesh's parents and they were arrested.
