Bengaluru: In a shocking incident, a 40-year-old man allegedly gouged out father’s eye with his bare hands over a property dispute on Tuesday morning.

The accused, Abhishek Chetan wanted his father, 65-year-old Parameshwar to transfer the property of JP Nagar in his name.

Parameshwar wanted to divide the property between his daughter and Abhishek and accused did not agree with the idea.

JP Nagar’s property was kept in Parameshwar and his wife’s name. Parameshwas retired from the government job six months ago and his wife died two months ago. Since then Abhishek had been forcing his father to transfer the property.

On Tuesday, after a heated argument, Abhishek gouged out one of his father’s eyes with bare hands and seeing him in a pool of blood and pain he ran away but later he was arrested.

Parameshwar was admitted to a private hospital and is in a stable condition, but has lost one of his eyes.

According to police, Abhishek is a drug addict and doesn’t have a sound source of income.
