Hyderabad: In a shocking incident, a man killed his son reportedly after the latter lost Rs 2 crore in online cricket betting during the last couple of years.
Satyanarayana, the accused, works as a trackman at Maliyala in Chegunta mandal, Medak district. He had tried to convince his son Mukesh Kumar, 28, to change his ways as the latter was addicted to betting.
