A 75-year-old man was allegedly killed by his wife and son at BRS Nagar here on Tuesday night.

Police have arrested his wife and the 45-year-old son.

According to reports, following a scuffle between the man and his wife and son, the son, who is said to be a drug addict, allegedly hit him on the head with a hard object and later also stabbed him in the eyes with a knife.

Deceased Sham Singh had retired from IFFCO as General Manager, North India.
