The Delhi Police has arrested a man for allegedly killing his 60-year-old mother by pushing her to the floor during a domestic row in Seemapuri area of Delhi, an officer said on Thursday.

The incident occurred on Wednesday at the residence of the accused, identified as Sher Ali.

“The altercation began when Sher Ali had a heated argument with his wife. His mother, Hamidun Nisha, intervened to pacify the two,” the officer said.

During the dispute, Ali allegedly pushed his mother with force, causing her to fall. She sustained a head injury and later died.

Police received a PCR call regarding the incident, following which a team reached the spot and shifted the woman for medical assistance. However, she could not be saved.

“The woman’s daughter, Sabnam, later gave a statement alleging that her brother had assaulted their mother during the quarrel, which resulted in her death,” the officer added.

Based on the complaint, the police registered a case and initiated an investigation. Ali, who works as a tailor in Ghaziabad’s Loni, was apprehended shortly after.

The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death. Preliminary investigations suggest the mother suffered a fatal head injury after being thrown to the ground during the fight between Ali and his wife.

Further investigation is underway, they added.
