Four people were injured, including one with a gunshot wound, during a violent clash between two rival groups in Kushtia’s Daulatpur upazila on Saturday afternoon. The incident occurred around 1 p.m. in Chhatarpara village of Aria Union. The injured were identified as Bokul, Suman, Akaili, and Kodbhanu. Police confirmed that the situation is now under control.

According to police and local sources, the conflict stemmed from a long-standing dispute over land ownership and local dominance between the Malitha and Mondol families. The violence began when members of the Malitha family locked a water pump house used by Abdul Hannan’s son, Kornel, from the Mondol family, and attempted to vandalize their home. When Kornel and his supporters resisted, both sides engaged in chasing, stone-throwing, and eventually gunfire, leaving Bokul seriously injured.

Police said no cases have yet been filed and no arrests made in connection with the incident. The injured are receiving treatment at Daulatpur Upazila Health Complex and Kushtia General Hospital.
