It was not known how much money the boy had asked for.

A local police official said the boy lives with his mother in a separate house due to a dispute between the parents.

"The father claims that his son often demanded money on the pretext of school fees but splurged it in other activities. A CCTV footage also shows that the boy had entered his father's house on August 30 with a stick in his hand and later, a fight ensued with his uncles," the official told PTI.

However, the case has been lodged based on the complaint from the teenager, and the next action would be taken on the basis of further investigation, the police added.
