Bloodbath over 6 bigha: Madhya Pradesh man crushed by SUV, family assaulted, clothes torn; 15 accused on the run | Bhopal News

NEW DELHI: A man was killed and four others injured after being attacked by a group of nearly 15 people over a land dispute in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district, police said. The incident occurred on Sunday in Ganeshpura village, under Fatehgarh police station limits, over a dispute involving “six bigha” of agricultural land, an official said to news agency PTI. The victims were heading to their field when the rival group allegedly stopped them and launched the assault. The attackers reportedly used sticks, rods, and sharp-edged weapons, before running a SUV over one of the men, identified as 40-year-old Ramswaroop Nagar, said sub-divisional officer of police Vivek Asthana. Ramswaroop’s 38-year-old wife, their 17-year-old daughter, and two relatives – a 17-year-old girl and a 50-year-old man – were also injured while trying to intervene, the official added. The attackers allegedly tore the clothes of Ramswaroop’s wife and the two teenage girls. The family later reached the district hospital in torn clothes, where Ramswaroop succumbed to his injuries during treatment, police said. Asthana stated that the assault was carried out by about 15 people led by Mahendra Nagar, a resident of Rajasthan. A case has been registered, and authorities are working to trace and arrest the accused. The incident sparked outrage among villagers and relatives, who demanded strict action against the attackers.(With agency inputs)
