Man dies in clash over land dispute
A man was killed in a clash over land dispute at Velajan Telipara village in Sadar upazila of the district yesterday.
The victim was Abdul Quader, 35, son of late Ibrahim of the village.
Police, quoting locals, said Shamsul Haque and Shaheed Ali had a longstanding dispute over 87 decimals of land.
Shamsul and his family members were harvesting his crop on the land yesterday when Shaheed and his men, equipped with sharp weapons, went to the spot and asked them not to cut the paddy. That led to an altercation.
At one stage, Shaheed's men attacked Shamsul's family members with sharp weapons, leaving Shamsul's younger brother Abdul Quader and son Sohel, 18, critically injured.
They were taken to Thakurgaon Sadar Hospital and later shifted to Rangpur Medical College Hospital (RMCH) as their condition deteriorated.
Quader succumbed to his injuries at the hospital around 2:00pm.
