LAUREL, Md. (AP) -- A Maryland man has been arrested on a murder charge in the death of his father during an argument.

Howard County police say 46-year-old Deepak Gupta and his father, 68-year-old Nandal Gupta, got into a physical fight Sunday at their home in Laurel, just across the Prince George's County line.
