Bengaluru: Juvenile crime is a serious issue in India.
In the latest incident underlining the gravity of the matter, a minor boy was arrested in Karnataka’s Mulbagal after he confessed to killing his mother.
The shocking incident took place on Friday morning after an argument over breakfast.
The 17-year-old boy, a second-year diploma student, was upset when he came to know that his mother hadn’t prepared breakfast before he left for college.
There were heated arguments between mother and son, following which the angry teenager lost his cool and hit his mother on the head with an iron rod.

The 17-year-old then narrated how things unfolded at home and confessed to killing his mother.
