A man has been accused of shooting his 13-year-old son to death in a fit of rage following a heated argument with his father in Ghuddu Wala village, Ferozepur, Punjab, India on Thursday, June 23.

The accused, Paramjeet Singh, a security guard by profession, reportedly pulled out his licensed gun and shot at his father Kehar Singh after the two had a heated argument regarding a transfer of property to Paramjeet's name.

Paramjeet was reportedly given half of the land that his father Kehar Singh had. However, Paramjeet allegedly coerced his father and even physically assault him to transfer the land to his name.

“My son was working as a security guard in Ludhiana and was getting a good salary,” said Kehar.
