A teenage boy’s desire for a smartphone and his poor father’s inability to buy the gadget took the lives of a father-son duo in Nanded, Maharashtra. The 16-year-old Class 10 boy and his farmer father were found hanging from a tree at their family farm in Minaki in Biloli tehsil on Thursday. Nanded Police said on Friday that when the poor farmer saw his son hanging from a tree, he also committed suicide by hanging himself with the same rope.
