Bengaluru (PTI): A 22-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly killing his uncle following a dispute over vacating a house and attempting to pass off the death as accidental, police said on Wednesday.

The accused has been identified as Masroor Ahmed.

The victim, Inayath Pasha, was living alone on the ground floor of his sister’s house in Austin Town on a lease basis. Police said he had a disability in his left leg due to polio since birth, and earned his livelihood as a two-wheeler mechanic.

According to the complaint, on the evening of March 1, Pasha’s son visited him at home and found him lying unresponsive.

On checking, he discovered that his father had died. A case of unnatural death was initially registered at the Viveknagar police station.

During further investigation, police questioned Pasha’s sister, her son, and other relatives.

A relative raised suspicion about the circumstances of the death, following which a murder case was registered, a senior police officer said.

During interrogation, it emerged that an argument had taken place on March 1 between Pasha and his nephew, Ahmed, over vacating the house.

Police said that during the altercation, Ahmed allegedly assaulted Pasha, causing him to lose consciousness and collapse.

The accused then placed him on the bed and left the scene, police added.
