Despite conducting multiple raids, Ghaziabad police have failed to make any headway in the IPS officer's father case, in which a son shot his father. Police said that the 65-year-old father of UP cadre IPS officer Sanjeev Tyagi was allegedly shot dead by his youngest son at his Ghaziabad residence on Thursday. He was suffering from schizophrenia.

"An FIR under section 302 of IPC was registered at Kavinagar police station against the deceased's youngest son Dabbu who shot the deceased at about 6.45 am in the morning causing death due to gunshot injury in the head.

Dabbu is suffering from schizophrenia and is undergoing treatment at Vimhans Hospital Delhi for the same. Three teams have been formed to nab the accused. All angles are being explored," said Akash Tomar of Ghaziabad superintendent of police.

"The accused is at large. The police teams are conducting raids at all possible locations to nab him," Tomar said.

Apart from failing to recover the accused, police have also failed to recover the weapon used in the crime. Sources also revealed that the deceased's wife has said that Dabbu had run away after killing his father.

Asked about the motive behind the murder, Tomar said, "Prima facie it appears that Dabbu was suffering from some disease. He also sustained a few losses in his business. So he committed the crime due to psychological issues. As of now we do not have evidences for reasons other than murder but are probe is on from all angles," Tomar said.

Police said that IPS officer Sanjeev Tyagi is posted in Lucknow while his father Ishwar Tyagi was residing at Sector-2 in the upscale Raj Nagar area with his family.
