A 70-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed to death during a dispute over the possession of a warehouse in Kaliganj upazila of Lalmonirhat. Another woman was injured while trying to intervene.
The incident took place early Tuesday (November 10) in the Bhulyarhat Bazar area of the upazila.
The deceased was identified as Sarbi Begum, 70, wife of Elahi Bakhsh of Purba Bichandai village under Dowabari Union in Hatibandha upazila.
According to local residents, Nuruddin Mia, a resident of the Bhulyarhat Bazar area, had been running a joint business in his warehouse with local businessman Ashraful Islam Raju.
A dispute over business accounts and ownership of the warehouse had reportedly been ongoing between them for some time.
Recently, Nuruddin sold the warehouse to a man named Shahjalal, also a local resident. However, Ashraful Islam Raju remained in possession of the property even after the sale.
As the business-related financial dealings had not been settled, Raju and his family reportedly refused to vacate the warehouse. Raju had also allowed his aunt, Sarbi Begum, to stay there.
Police and locals said that when the opposing party arrived early Tuesday to take possession of the warehouse, Sarbi Begum was stabbed. She died at the scene.
Another woman was injured while attempting to stop the attack. Locals rescued her and admitted her to Rangpur Medical College Hospital.
On information, police from Kaliganj Police Station recovered the woman's body and sent it to the morgue of Lalmonirhat Sadar Hospital for an autopsy.
No one had been detained in connection with the incident at the time of reporting.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Kaliganj Police Station S. M. Monzure Mawla said, legal action was being taken over the incident.
