The boy was also angry with his father for selling a part of the family&#39;s property in Palghar and giving away the money to some other people, instead of him. On Tuesday, the boy, who had been living with his uncle in Vitthalwadi, went to his father&#39;s house and axed him to death, Sindkar said. However, he later cooked up a story about his father&#39;s death but police cracked the case and arrested him. The boy has been sent to a remand home while a case has been registered against him, police said. The boy&#39;s mother was the second wife of Gharat and had passed away within a month of giving him birth. Gharat&#39;s other three wives separated from him for various reasons, they added. u00a0
