On December 27, Shri Moklesur Rahman, a resident of New Bhaitbari village under Rajabala Police Station (West Garo Hills), filed a complaint alleging that he and his son were assaulted by Shahaz Zaman and his six accomplices. According to the complaint, the assault occurred around 1:30 PM near Bawabari, with the assailants reportedly targeting the victims over a land dispute. The accused, all from the same village, are believed to have attacked the complainant and his son in an attempt to forcibly occupy a plot of land that Rahman owns.
The incident, which unfolded in broad daylight, has raised concerns over the safety and legal proceedings regarding land disputes in rural areas. Rahman sustained injuries in the attack, and both he and his son are receiving medical treatment.
Police have initiated an investigation into the incident and are working to gather evidence and statements from witnesses. Authorities have urged people to resolve disputes peacefully and within the bounds of law. The assailants, if found guilty, will face legal consequences.
