LUCKNOW, March 11 -- In another incident of filial violence fueled by addiction, a 35-year-old man allegedly attacked his 60-year-old father with a sharp weapon in Lucknow's Sarojini Nagar area on Wednesday after the father refused to give him money for drugs. The critically injured father has been rushed to the hospital."The incident took place around 3.20pm in Behsa village. Sarojini Nagar police, who were alerted via the control room, found the victim Santlal Rawat with severe injuries. He was first taken to Lokbandhu Hospital and subsequently referred to KGMU Trauma Center due to his critical condition," said ACP Krishna Nagar Rajneesh Verma.

The motive was linked to a dispute over his prospective career and other issues.htc...
