BHOPAL: A 30-year-old man was found murdered with multiple stab wounds in Berasia area here on Tuesday evening. The deceased identified as, Ajay Agrawal, a resident of Lakherapura, was missing from his house for the past two days.

However, his blood-stained body with a dozen stab wounds was recovered few meters away from the road near Kararia jod. The police have also recovered, water pouches, disposable glasses and empty bottle from the spot.

The deceased was identified when Kotwali police on learning that a body has been recovered in Berasia area called his family members who later identified the body at the spot.

Deceased's father, Ramesh Chandra Agrawal runs a shop in Marwadi road area of old city. Ajay left the house on the evening of December 17 but when he did not return till late, the family reported the matter to police.

The family had also mentioned in the missing persons report that Rs 2 lakh cash kept in an almirah of the house was also missing and believed that deceased must have taken it with him. But the cash was not recovered from the spot with body.

Ajay was married around two and half years back but his wife left him and returned to his parents barely a month after the marriage.

I have mixed feelings about this episode. I mean he was dying anyway - just in a very painful way. But did that gave his father the rights to get him killed? I don't know. I mean in a way, the father was right, but at the same time, did he had the right to do so? Patta nahi...

I dont think what he did was right. He was rich. He could have admitted Vishal in a rehab center. Also, he could arrange for a personal doctor and care taker who could free Vishal from drinking. Killing him was not the solution. The father was so worried about his reputation..now what..?? His reputation went to the dogs..!! A father charged of killing his won son...what can be more disgusting than this..??

What he did was not right. I don't want to be rude but by killing someone won't solve the problem. As a father he should have stood by his son and helped him come out of this. I agree that what Vishal was doing was not right but taking such a drastic step is not the solution. He just thought about his reputation and his name. For him was his reputation more important than his son?

Welcome...😊
Agree with you. Killing Vishal invited more problems instead of solving it...
And, about reputation...its really shocking that he gave more attention to the so-called reputation and ignored his own son...🤢
