SHAHDOL: In a shocking incident, a 20-year-old youth has been arrested for allegedly bludgeoning his mother to death with household items in the tribal hamlet of Barkachh in Madhya Pradesh's Shahdol district.

Police suspect that the youth killed his 40-year-old mother, Savita Kola, feeling offended over often-repeated admonitions over his lack of interest in studies.

The crime, uncovered on November 4, has sent shockwaves through the quiet village under the Biohari police station area.

Neighbours grew suspicious after not seeing Savita Kol or her son for days, prompting them to alert police authorities.
