India Oct 06, 2025

A 20-year-old in Lucknow, Nikhil Yadav alias Golu, was arrested after allegedly killing his 45-year-old mother, Reshma Yadav, on October 3, 2025.
The incident happened when she caught him stealing her jewelry—money troubles from losing big on the Aviator mobile game and piling up app-based loans had pushed him into a corner.
Things escalated during their argument and turned violent.
