Gwalior, October 25: In a chilling incident from Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior, police revealed that a father hired contract killers to murder his 28-year-old son due to frustration over his son’s addiction and criminal activities. The victim, Irfan Khan, a resident of Gwalior’s Purani Cantonment, had a history of involvement in crime and was addicted to gambling, marijuana, and smack. His lifestyle led to frequent arguments with his family, ultimately pushing his father, Hasan Khan, to take such decision.

According to police investigations, Hasan was deeply disturbed by Irfan’s behaviour and the toll it was taking on the family, reported Dainik Bhaskar. Desperate to end this cycle, he devised a plan to have Irfan killed. He hired two contract killers, Arjun alias Sharafat Khan and Bhim Singh Parihar, agreeing to pay them Rs 50,000 for the job. Revenge Killing in Gujarat: Man Kills Father’s Murderer After 22 Years in a Similar Manner, Chilling Details Surface.
