In their son's complaint, the pair claimed that their frequent disagreements were caused by the husband's suspicions about his wife's activities on her phone, the PTI report further stated.
Based on the complaint, the police have registered a case under Indian Penal Code Section 307 (attempt to murder). The incident is still being looked into, a police official told the news agency.

One of the younger siblings and his friend got into a fight when they disagreed, according to the Kashigaon police's FIR.
