A 45-year-old man has been arrested in Telangana for allegedly chopping off his 19-year-old son's right hand as he was angry over the teenager's addiction to watching films and porn on mobile phone, police said on Tuesday.
Mohammed Qayyum Qureshi, arrested on Monday, has been sent to jail on charges of attempt to murder, a police official said.
The incident took place in Pahadi Shareef area when Qureshi chopped off his son Khalid's hand with a butcher's knife when he was sleeping, the official added.
