A 55-year-old woman was killed in an attack allegedly carried out by rivals over a land dispute in Harirampur upazila of Manikganj on Sunday (November 8). Police have detained one person in connection with the incident.

The incident took place at Kokorhati village in the upazila in the afternoon.

The deceased was identified as Moyna Begum, wife of Akkas Ali and a resident of Kokorhati village.

According to locals, Moyna Begum's family had been involved in a longstanding dispute with the family of their neighbour Ayub Ali over two decimals of land.

On Sunday afternoon, an altercation broke out between the two families over the issue, which eventually escalated into a physical confrontation.

At one stage, Ayub Ali's son Chanchal, his wife Halima Begum and Jahanara Begum allegedly attacked Moyna Begum, leaving her critically injured.

Her relatives rushed her to Harirampur Upazila Health Complex, where the on-duty doctor declared her dead.

Harirampur Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) JOM Toufiq Azam said the attack stemmed from a land dispute. Police detained a man named Chanchal in connection with the incident.

The body was recovered and sent to the morgue of Manikganj Medical College Hospital for an autopsy. Legal proceedings are underway, the OC added.
