An elderly man named Kala Mia, aged 70, died after being beaten by his two sons over a land dispute in Teknaf’s Nayapara area of Cox’s Bazar early Monday night. According to police and medical sources, he was taken to Teknaf Upazila Health Complex in critical condition, where doctors declared him dead upon arrival. The accused sons were identified as Shaker Alam and Monir Alam.

Local residents said the dispute arose when Kala Mia’s wife became involved in selling ancestral property, leading to ongoing conflicts with their sons. The sons reportedly pressured their father to transfer the land to their names, but he insisted on dividing it among all heirs before any sale. The disagreement escalated into a violent assault that caused his death.

Local union council member Abul Fayez stated that the sons had been arguing with their father for days and allegedly hid him before he was found unconscious. Police confirmed that legal proceedings are underway and the body has been sent for autopsy at Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital.
