A 55-year-old bed-ridden man was set ablaze by his drunkard son at their residence in Indranagar of Gachibowli here on Tuesday.
The victim, Durga Rao, who suffered 65% burns, died while undergoing treatment at Osmania Hospital in the late hours on Tuesday.
According to Gachibowli inspector G Suresh, the accused, Naga Babu, 35, along with his mother Mahalakshmi, was working as gardening labour at IDBI Leaning Centre. Rao too used to work there but due to ill-health for the past five months, he quit the job.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
