Lucknow: Two brothers were arrested by the police from the Gosainganj area of Lucknow for the alleged murder of their father. The accused reportedly committed the crime after the murdered man threatened to kill the elder brother's baby daughter.

The police said Awadhesh (29) and Rajneesh (25) murdered their father Ramesh Chandra Rawat (50) on Saturday night after a fight within the family. Ramesh Chandra Rawat was found dead in his house on Sunday by the police with his throat slit. While a fallout with some old rivals was suspected to have led to the crime initially, a probe revealed that the man was killed by his sons, the police said.

The victim was a habitual drinker who disliked girls, the Times of India (TOI) said in a report. He regularly fought with his family after a girl child was born to Awadhesh, a farmer by profession, some days ago.

"He was not happy with the birth of Awadhesh’s daughter and they fought regularly at home. On Saturday, Ramesh had a face-off with Awdhesh when he lunged toward the baby threatening to kill her. In a fit of rage, Awdhesh slit his father’s throat,” DCP South Zone Rahul Raj was quoted as saying by the TOI.

The truth came to light when the investigation officers spotted blood stains at Awadhesh's house and started interrogating the family in detail. It was then the daughter of Ramesh Chandra Rawat broke down and revealed that her siblings committed the crime after a fight in the house.
