A 46-year-old man was allegedly burned alive by his son in Churu district's Sardarshahar area, police said on Monday.
Sardarshahar Deputy Superintendent of Police Narendra Sharma said Sonu Meghwal, 22, set his father Liluram Meghwal on fire by pouring kerosene on him during a fight Sunday night. Liluram died on the spot.
Sonu was charged for murder at the complaint of his brother and arrested, police said.
