The incident happened in Vashinaka area late Saturday night after Lurthmary Murgeshan and her son Praveen had an argument, an RCF police station official said.
"First Praveen hit her, and then she smashed his head with a hammer. She then locked the flat and told a common friend her son was missing and that she would look for him the next day. She reached a kin's place in Mankhurd, where her husband was sitting, and told them the same story. However, her husband got suspicious," he said.
