FATAL FAMILY FEUD: 76-Year-Old Man Kills Son Over Dispute on Second Marriage

Rajkot (The Uttam Hindu): Imagine, if the oldest person in your house, who is of the age of your grandfather or maternal grandfather, suddenly says that he wants to marry again, what will happen in the house? Some people will laugh, some will be angry, and some will be shocked. But in Rajkot, Gujarat, this decision created such an uproar that a 76-year-old man shot and killed his own son.

A shocking incident unfolded in Rajkot, Gujarat, where a 76-year-old man, Rambhai Boricha, shot and killed his 52-year-old son, Pratap Boricha, following a heated argument over his decision to remarry. According to reports, Rambhai's desire to tie the knot again sparked a long-standing feud between him and his son, who strongly disapproved of the idea, citing concerns about family reputation and the unsuitability of remarriage at his father's age. Despite repeated attempts by Pratap to reason with his father, Rambhai remained resolute, leading to a violent confrontation between the two on Sunday morning. In a fit of rage, Rambhai fatally shot his son, leaving the family and community in shock. This disturbing incident raises questions about the complexities of family dynamics, generational differences, and the consequences of unresolved conflicts.
