A man has been arrested for allegedly killing his father by slitting his throat after being fed up with his alcohol addiction in West Delhi's Punjabi Bagh, police said on Friday.

The incident came to light after the accused, Rinku Yadav, brought his father's body to the cremation ground at Paschim Vihar.

"At the cremation ground, somebody noticed a cut mark on the neck and the forearm. It was brought to the notice of the priest who then asked Yadav about it but got no satisfactory reply," a police official said.

The priest then informed the police.
