The parents said that Raju was addicted to drinking and gambling on daily basis.
He would spend money and come back home demanding more. He used to sell even the utensils and pieces of furniture in their house. When he could not find any money or anything to sell, he would often resort to thrashing his parents, the couple claimed.
Despite putting in efforts to make him understand and telling him to get rid of this habit, he wouldn’t pay heed.

They then dumped the body in the fields and were preparing to surrender, but the body was recovered next morning and the duo was arrested.
The couple was identified as Kumari Rajput, 50 and Jagdeesh, 55.
