Summary The incident happened in India's Hyderabad.

(Web Desk) – In a shocking incident in India’s Hyderabad, an angry Indian father chopped off his son’s right-hand wrist over excessive use of cell phone.

The incident happened at Pahadishareef in the city outskirts. Mohammed Qayyum Qureshi—an electrician by profession—lives with his wife and four children. One of his sons, Khaled Qureshi (19), works as a cable operator.

Khaled recently bought a phone and was using it for long hours to watch movies. On several occasions, Qayyum noticed his son using the phone till late in the night and had warned him to sleep early. Two days ago, Qayyum and Khaled had a fight over the issue and Khaled had bitten his father’s hand in anger and left home to only come in the night. Even that night, the teenager was found watching movies on his phone. During wee hours on Monday, when everybody was sleeping, Qayyum woke up and chopped his son’s right-hand wrist with a butcher knife.
