Police in the Medak district of Telangana have taken a man into custody following the death of his mother, who was burned alive. According to official reports, the suspect had recently returned to his native village from Hyderabad approximately 10 days prior to the incident.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the motive for the attack was rooted in the suspect's belief that his mother was responsible for a series of deaths that had occurred in their village. The suspect reportedly accused his mother of engaging in black magic, which he claimed led to these past tragedies. The incident has drawn attention to the persistence of superstitious beliefs in rural areas, though police have focused their investigation on the criminal act of homicide. No further details regarding the suspect's mental state or specific evidence of the alleged black magic accusations have been provided by authorities at this stage.
