Land dispute turns violent in Ibrahimpatnam, one killed

A long-standing land dispute between relatives claimed one life at Dandumailaram village in Ibrahimpatnam on the city outskirts on Sunday.

According to police, G Jangaiah owned 18 acres of land, which has been the subject of conflict among his four sons for years. Despite a police order prohibiting trespassing, the families of Narasimha and Yadaiah allegedly entered the fields to plant



paddy.

When the families of Mallaiah and Jangaiah tried to stop them, a violent clash broke out.

During the attack, Balaraju (36) was hacked to death on the spot. His brothers Dhanraj and Venktaraju, along with sisters-in-law Pavani and Manjula, were injured. Manjula sustained serious abdominal injuries.

The injured are undergoing treatment at a private hospital.
