In another incident, Subham Rai, 24, allegedly killed his grandfather, Mani Kumar Rai, 72, at Upper Cart Road near Children Park in Kalimpong town.
Police said preliminary investigation suggested that other members of the family which included grandmother and another grandson were present at the house at the time of the crime.
“The suspects in both the cases have been arrested,” said Hari Krishna Pai, the Kalimpong district police chief. Subham has not fled after incident.
“Subham had earlier gone to Delhi for work and it is suspected that he was into substance abuse earlier,” Roshan Thapa, a neighbour of the Rai family, said.
The grandfather had suffered injuries from a blunt weapon.
