SURKHET: A man has killed his own son by mistaking him for a monkey in a village of Arghakhanchi district. Gupta Bahadur Pulami, 55, of Siddhara VDC-8 in in Arghakhanchi district, shot his 12-year-old son, Chitra Bahadur, dead on Friday. Chitra Bahadur had climbed a tree to chase away monkeys with a catapult on Friday morning.



Unaware of his son´s activities, Gupta Bahadur also went to his maize field to kill monkeys. He shot at his son assuming him to be a monkey. “Until my son fell off the tree, I thought it was monkey,” Gupta Bahadur later told the police. Chitra Bahadur, a fifth grader at Pashupati Primary School, died immediately after being shot. The bullet passed through his head.
