Man kills his cousin brother over property dispute in Dholai

In an intense fight for property between two, a cousin killed another in South Dholai’s Jamalpur GP. This incident happened last Wednesday and was centred around the construction of a fishery. Kutub Uddin Laskar and Intazur Rahman who were cousins brothers have been fighting over a plot of land for a long time. But this fight escalated to another level, last Wednesday.

On April 20, at around 5 in the evening, Kutub Uddin and his men gheraoed Intazur’s home and called him outside. Once out, they started attacking him with weapons and sticks. Due to this attack, Intazur lost his balance and fell on the ground, seriously injured.

To protect her helpless husband, Shameena Begum Laskar jumped over Intazur, but that didn’t stop the attack. Kutub Uddin’s men attacked the defenceless woman as well. Describing the incident, Shameena said, “When I heard my husband screaming I ran towards him and saw this dreadful scene. First I couldn’t understand what was going on and I blacked out. Then to save him from these goons, I jumped over him. But this didn’t stop them. They attacked me as well. While I was trying to protect him, they hit his head with the back of a rifle and he lost his senses completely”.

With the help of the locals, the severely injured Intazur was rushed to the Dholai Primary Healthcare Centre, but they immediately referred him to the Silchar Medical College and Hospital and on the same night they had to rush him towards Guwahati Medical College and Hospital. He was under treatment in the GMCH for a couple of days and on Saturday afternoon at 1:30, he breathed his last.

He was just 27 years old and after a postmortem on Sunday, his dead body was brought back to his ancestral home on Monday morning for the funeral services. Intazur has left behind his old mother, wife and three children, all under the age of five.

His wife Shameena Begum Laskar has blamed Kutub Uddin Laskar, Meena Begum Laskar, Ramzan Ahmed Laskar, Shakeel Ahmed Laskar and others, behind the death of her husband. She has filed an FIR against these people in the Dholai Police Station. During the investigation process, police were successful in arresting Islam Uddin Laskar. The rest are running away from the hold of the police.
