Minor kills mother during argument at Lucknow home, then calls cops

In Lucknow, a 17-year-old female, undergoing gender reassignment treatment, has been arrested for allegedly killing her mother with pliers. The minor had been living separately from her parents for seven months, and an argument ensued when her mother demanded she return home. According to police, the conflict escalated, and the minor struck her mother fatally with pliers.

She subsequently called the police and confessed to the murder. The station house officer confirmed that the mother had been insisting on the minor living with them. The minor is a Class XII student and the sole child of the couple. Deputy Commissioner Jitendra Kumar Srivastava stated that an investigation is underway, with evidence collection currently in progress.

Police noted that the minor had a history of unpredictable behavior and stubbornness. Her father, who owns a cloth shop, had arranged for her to reside in a separate rented accommodation to prevent any potential issues. The father covered all expenses for the arrangement. The minor's father informed him of her intention to meet her mother, but she insisted on the police escort.

The woman's body has been sent for a post-mortem examination, and senior police officers have already inspected the home.
