A minor boy sustained bullet injury during an altercation between three men over a piece of land in Comilla’s Debidwar upazila yesterday.
The victim is Zobayer Ahmed, 9.
Locals said two men – Shamim Ahmed and Nur Mohammed Kislu – shared an enmity over a piece of land in Boncot village of the upazila.
Yesterday around 11:30am, when Shamim opted to set up a toilet on the disputed piece of land, Kislu came and obstructed him. Hearing the news, the owner of the land Mokbul Hossain Mukul arrived at the spot. Kislu and Mukul engaged in a brawl.
At one point Kislu opened fire targeting Mukul that hit Shamim’s son Zobayer on leg.
Locals took Zobayer to Debidwar Upazila Health Complex from where he was transferred to the Comilla Medical College Hospital.
Debidwar police station Officer-in-Charge Mizanur Rahman said police were trying to arrest the culprit.
