Officials have said that the incident happened when Teja and his mother visited Rao’s house in Somajiguda. He reportedly engaged in a fiery argument with his grandfather regarding the distribution of property when his mother stepped away to get coffee.
After an initial investigation, police said that Teja accused his grandfather of "refusing" to share the property with him. He then pulled out a knife and "attacked" his grandfather. He also said that Rao neglected him throughout his childhood. He stabbed Rao with a knife he brought with him.
Teja fled the crime scene. He was later arrested on Saturday, police said.
