Son kills mother over Canada move dispute

NEW DELHI: In a tragic incident in India, a 31-year-old man attacked his mother with a knife for not allowing her to go to Canada for work.

The incident took place in the village of Molarband, where Krishan Kant, who was unemployed and reportedly struggling with drugs, had repeatedly pleaded with his parents for permission to work abroad.

According to Indian media reports, the victim, 50-year-old Geeta, was a mother of two sons. His younger son has a steady job in a bank, while Krishna was unemployed and allegedly addicted to drugs. Local police reported that Krishna’s parents were resistant to his plans to go abroad and encouraged him to settle down and get married before considering a job abroad.

On November 6, Krishna and his mother again had a heated argument over his desire to work in Canada. Enraged, Krishna attacked Geeta with a knife, fatally injuring her. Surprised by his actions, Krishna called his father Surjeet Singh and asked him to come home immediately. When Surjit came and went upstairs, he saw his wife lying in a pool of blood. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was declared brought dead.

After committing the crime, Krishna fled the scene but was later arrested by the police, who have initiated further legal proceedings against him. The incident has shocked the community, highlighting the growing pressure and conflict within families over migration and employment opportunities abroad.
