BETTIAH: A tussle over possession of 2.5 kathas of land led to a cold blooded killing of two persons in Basantpur village under the Sathi police station in West Champaran late on Saturday night.
Narkatiaganj SDPO Kundan Kumar confirmed the killing of Binod Yadav (35) and Rameshwar Yadav (45). “Another victim Amar Lal Yadav also sustained grievous gunshot injuries. He is undergoing treatment at Motihari,” the SDPO told reporters on the spot on Sunday.
Munna Yadav, who was disputing Mahendra Yadav’s possession of the small plot of land, reached the spot with armed accomplices in the dead of night. Apparently trying to take advantage of Harendra’s absence as he had gone out to attend a wedding, Munna reached the land and demolished a thatched hut standing on it. Binod, Harendra’s brother-in-law who had stayed behind to guard the property, was shot dead. The assailants also opened fire on two others. While Rameshwar died on the spot, Amar’s condition was reported to be serious.
