1 killed over land dispute
From Our Correspondent
FATEHGARH SAHIB, Jan 27 — Mr Ajaib Singh, a resident of Bahadurgarh village, 2 km from here, died due to the alleged beating by his son, grandson and son-in-law during a clash.
According to Mr Paramraj Singh Umranangal, SSP, Ajaib Singh had 33 acres of land. He distributed the land between his two sons after keeping his share with him. He said his son Harnam Singh, along with grandson Harinder Singh, and son-in-law encroached upon the land of his brother Nishan Singh and his father.
The younger brother Nishan Singh and Ajaib Singh objected to this encroachment and ploughing of their fields. The panchayat of the village was called for a compromise, but it could not reach on any understanding.
The next morning when Ajaib Singh was going to take the bath, the three accused beat him and he was taken to the hospital, where he was declared dead. The SSP said a case has been registered against the accused and arrested them.
