Three members of a family were injured, two of them seriously, after a group of 50-60 men allegedly attacked them with knives and sticks during a dispute over a plot of land in Chhota Bharwara under BBD police station limits on Sunday.
According to an FIR lodged by Harishchandra Yadav, the incident occurred around 2 pm at a disputed plot in Jagpal Kheda. The complainant alleged that his cousin, Vinod Yadav, mobilised dozens of people who reached the site and began demolishing the boundary wall and gate of the property.
The land, identified as Khasra No. 1031, is jointly linked to four brothers, each claiming possession of their respective share. When Harishchandra’s brothers, Satish Yadav and Sonu Yadav, along with Satish’s son Shivam Yadav, reached the spot and objected to the demolition, the situation allegedly turned violent.
