Son attacks father over land papers, locks himself in house
In Thrissur, Kerala, a man named Vishnu allegedly attacked his father Shivan with a machete after an argument about house land documents.
The fight broke out when Vishnu claimed he had thrown the papers into a well, leading to a violent altercation that left Shivan with serious head and neck injuries.
Police are now evaluating Vishnu's mental health
After the attack, Vishnu locked himself inside his rented house near Shivakshetram temple and threatened to harm himself if approached.
Police and fire teams surrounded the area for hours until locals convinced him to surrender around 5:30pm.
Given his history of estrangement from his parents and involvement in occult rituals, authorities are now evaluating his mental health at Thrissur Medical College.
Meanwhile, Shivan remains in a coma as police prepare their next steps.
