Police revealed that Himanshu stayed in a village 3km away from his parents and was known to visit occasionally and cause disturbances.
On the night of the alleged murder, Himanshu returned home intoxicated and got into an argument with his bedridden father.
In a fit of rage, he struck his father’s head with a hammer. When his mother tried to intervene, he allegedly dragged her to a flight of stairs outside her house and bludgeoned her with the same hammer — which was used for breaking stone.
