A man allegedly killed his father for cross-questioning and scolding him after losing his mobile phone in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat area on Thursday.

Khalid Mehmood, the victim, was a street vendor and had returned home and asked his son, Sajid Mehmood, about how he lost his cellphone.

The father then scolded him and suspected that he gifted the phone to a girl. Khalid then went to the roof of his house and fell asleep.

The victim's body has been sent for medico-legal formalities.
