A teen in Lucknow kills his mother over not allowing him to play video games, then sits beside her body for three days.

A 16-year-old kid from Lucknow shot and killed his mother over refusing to let him play mobile games, then sat with her body for three days.

The child is accused of killing his mother and concealing her body for at least two days at his Lucknow home.

On Sunday, the youngster killed his mother by shooting her with his father's legal revolver, according to police in Uttar Pradesh.

When the mother's body began to decompose and stink, the boy made up a narrative and contacted the authorities. However, after two and a half hours of inquiry and interrogation, cops discovered the truth.

Sadhna, the boy's 40-year-old mother, and his 10-year-old sister resided with him. His father is a Kolkata-based army officer.

Notably, the child sprayed room fresheners to mask the terrible odor of his mother's decomposing remains."A forensic team was called on the spot," Lucknow police ACP Archana Singh said. "They told us that the woman was shot in the head from close range and then her body was stored in an air-conditioned room to conceal the murder."

Following that, the accused boy was apprehended and apparently confessed to the crime during interrogation.
