Ali Hossain, the president of Kaukhali Upazila Islami Andolan, was reportedly hacked to injured by rivals over a land dispute at Kaukhali upazila in Pirojpur district on Sunday morning.
The incident happened at around 8:00PM at Saturia village under Saturia union in the upazila.
Police arrested Rokya Begum, 50, and her sister Kohinur Begum, 40, in connection with the incident.
The injured Ali Hossain, 72, said, "My brother bought the land from the daughters of late Amzad Hossain, a resident of the area. They could not hand over the land to my brother and filed several cases against us. But they lost all cases. In spite of losing all the cases, they did not hand over the land because they were involved with Awami League politics. On Sunday morning, I went to the field to cut a tree from the land. At that time, the two sisters barred me from cutting the tree, causing an altercation between us. During the altercation, Rokya and Kahinur stabbed me twice in the back with a chopper. Hearing my screams, locals rescued me and took me to Kaukhali Upazila Health Complex."
Md Solayman, officer-in-charge of Kaukhali Police Station, said that police had visited the spot, and two people were arrested.
A case has been filed with the police station in connection with the incident, the OC added.
