The Story in Brief
A 16-year-old boy allegedly killed his father, Raju Sharma, while he slept in their rented home in Noida's Garhi Chaukhandi village early Wednesday morning. Police said the teenager was distressed over his father's strictness and his mother's absence after she left the family following the Covid-19 pandemic.
The boy then went to Sector 52 Metro station and jumped in front of an approaching train. Metro staff rushed him to hospital, where he was declared dead. Police found Raju's body late Thursday after his brother reported a foul smell from the locked room. The teenager's body was handed over to his mother and maternal uncle.
The Indian Opinion
The story is being framed as another case of a 'strict parent' pushing a child to extremes, but that narrative skips over deeper failures. The mother had been living separately since the pandemic; the boy was with his father for just three months. No one, neighbour, teacher, relative, stepped in. The real test is how many similar households are invisible to every support system until a tragedy forces police to find a body by smell.
