The Oshiwara police have booked 23-year-old model, Lakshya Lathar, in the death of his mother, Sunita Singh, on Thursday. An officer privy to the investigation told mid day that Lakshya had banged the head of his fashion designer mother in the wee hours of Thursday causing her immediate death.

"The mother and son were taking drugs together on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday. At 3 am on Thursday, Lakshya picked up a fight with his mother after they ran short of the drug, amphetamine, popularly known as AMP. Initially, they had a heated argument that snowballed into fisticuffs between the two. In a moment of rage, Lakshya banged his mother's head against the wall of the washroom where Singh's body was found," said an officer from Oshiwara police station.
