Surat Man Kills Mother, Younger Brother Over Property Dispute

A man allegedly stabbed his mother and younger brother to death during a family dispute over property and shop rental income in the Limbayat area of Surat on Sunday morning. The incident took place at Sahajanand Society. The accused, identified as Srinivas, reportedly had disagreements with his family over how the property and rental money should be shared. Police registered a murder case and launched an investigation to arrest the accused.

Dispute Over Shop Rent and Property

The deceased woman, identified as Maleshwariben Sudarshan Goduru, had three sons named Srinivas, Ramesh and Raju. She lived with her youngest son, Raju, in Surat.

The mother owned three shops that reportedly earned around Rs 60,000 in rent every month. As she lived with Raju, she gave the rental income to him. This reportedly upset her elder son, Srinivas, who wanted the property and income to be divided equally among the three brothers.

The dispute continued for some time. The mother reportedly told Srinivas that she would not divide the property or rental income during her lifetime.

The dispute reportedly became serious again early Sunday morning when Srinivas arrived at the family home in Sahajanand Society. An argument over the property started between the family members.

Srinivas allegedly attacked his mother and younger brother Raju with a knife. Both suffered serious injuries and died at the scene.

Police Begin Investigation

After receiving information about the incident, Limbayat police and senior police officers reached the spot. A team from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) also visited the location to collect evidence.

Police took the bodies for post-mortem examinations and began legal proceedings. A murder case was registered against the accused, and police started efforts to trace and arrest him.

Further investigation is underway to establish the full details of the incident.
