According to the police, the incident took place around 1 AM on Wednesday. Nikhil had come home to find Hariom resting on his bed after dinner. Reports indicate that the shooting was in response to the 55-year-old father’s confrontation about the son’s drinking habits.

It is alleged that he regularly fights with the family. Preliminary investigation revealed that Nikhil is a drug addict and that he has previously fought with his younger brother, Nishu Nehra.
