Dismissed merchant navy sailor kills father, injures 11 cops by setting off cylinder blast

In a shocking incident, a 37-year-old dismissed merchant navy sailor allegedly killed his father, attacked his neighbour and then tried to take his own life by setting off an LPG cylinder, which left 11 policemen injured, in east Delhi’s Madhu Vihar area on Sunday.

R P Matta, a retired financial sector employee, who recently came back from Canada, was stabbed to death by his son Rahul around 2.15 pm, police said.

Rahul was carrying sharp-edged weapon and reached outside Ajanta Apartments and asked the security personnel to open the
gate, but when they refused, he entered into an argument with them, they added.

A few residents of the complex reached there and Rajinder Matta was also informed.

After a heated argument that involved an attempt by Rahul to even attack the guards, Rahul managed to go upstairs to his
father’s flat and slit his throat and stabbed him multiple times killing him on the spot, police said.
