Man killed over land dispute
A man was killed in an attack allegedly over a disputed land in Gafargaon upazila of the district early yesterday.
The victim, Humayun Mia, 28, was son of late Matin Mia of Rauna village in the upazila.
Quoting locals, Officer in Charge (Investigation) of Gafargaon Police Station Monirul Islam said there had been a feud between Humayun and Shahar Ali of adjacent Dhopaghat Namapara village over a disputed land for long.
As a sequel, Shahar’s men attacked Humayun’s house around 8:00pm on Wednesday night and looted valuables when none of the family members were present at the house, said the OC.
Hearing the news, Humayun and his younger brother went to Dhopaghat Bazar but as soon they reached there some 30 people allegedly loyal to Shahar attacked them with sharp weapons, leaving the two severely injured.
Later, Humayun died while he was on his way to a hospital in the capital around 4.00am, the OC added.
