Three people were killed and two others injured in a clash over the ownership of a plot at Khathaldangi under Iswarganj upazila in Mymensingh on Wednesday morning.

The deceased were identified as Jahirul, Hasim Uddin and Azizul Haq of the village. Hashim’s sons Khairul and Mazharul were injured.

Kamrul Islam, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Police Station, said Abdul Rashid and his cousin Hasim had been at loggerheads for a long time over the land dispute.

“Five people were injured when the two sides fought pitched battles at 9:30am,” Islam said.

Locals took them to Iswarganj Sadar Hospital where doctors declared Jahirul dead.

“The others were referred to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH). Hasim and Azizul died while being taken there,” the OC said.

Khairul and Mazharul are under treatment at MMCH, reports UNB.
