The moment of murder
As he strangled his father, the other man, likely his friend, joined him to ensure Nagesh was dead.
To hide the crime, the two then allegedly placed the body on the bed and administered an electric shock to the fingers, NDTV reported.
However, sensing something was amiss, Nagesh's sister, Savitha, filed a complaint with the police, prompting a deeper investigation.
The police then reviewed the CCTV footage from inside the factory, which revealed the whole picture.
