Hyderabad, Sept 1(PMI) A simmering land dispute turned violent in Dandumailaram village, Ibrahimpatnam, on Sunday, leaving one man dead and four others injured.
Police said the conflict involved 18 acres of farmland owned by G. Jangaiah, which has long been a point of contention among his four sons. Despite police restrictions, the families of Narasimha and Yadaiah reportedly entered the land to plant paddy. When the families of Mallaiah and Jangaiah objected, the situation escalated into a brutal clash.
During the fight, Balaraju (36) was hacked to death. His brothers Dhanraj and Venktaraju, along with sisters-in-law Pavani and Manjula, sustained injuries. Manjula’s condition is said to be serious with abdominal wounds. All the injured were rushed to a private hospital.
Following the incident, Balaraju’s relatives staged a protest at Ibrahimpatnam government hospital, demanding action. Police have deployed pickets in the village to prevent further unrest.(pressmediaofindia.com)
