Man killed over disputed land in Satkhira
A man was killed allegedly by his nephew during an altercation over the construction of a septic tank on a disputed land in Kaliganj upazila of Satkhira yesterday (May 16, 2022).
The deceased was identified as Saiful Islam (32) of Ganeshpur village, a correspondent from Satkhira reports quoting Abdur Rahim, sub-inspector of Kaliganj Police Station.
Police arrested the alleged killer, Habibullah (26), along with a machete, said the police official.
Talking to reporters, the victim's wife Bilkis Begum said her husband Saiful had an altercation with his brother Samad Gazi at Ganeshpur village around 5:00pm when Saiful was trying to construct a septic tank in his own land.
Samad Gazi claimed ownership of the land and obstructed Saiful to build the septic tank.
At one stage, Samad tried to hit Saiful with a crowbar but he failed as Saiful protested it.
At the same time, Samad's son Habibullah, a college student, pressed the crowbar into the belly of Saiful, leaving him injured seriously.
He died on the way to Satkhira Medical College Hospital, said Bilkis.
SI Abdur Rahim also said Saiful's body will be sent to Sadar Hospital for an autopsy. A case in this connection is underway.
