A 65-year-old man was killed and five others injured in a clash between two groups of villagers over supremacy in Chandpur village of Kalia upazila in Narail district last night.

The deceased was identified as Sultan Molla of the village.

Quoting locals, Rashidul Islam, officer-in-charge of Kalia Police Station, said Purulia Union Parishad member Dr Jamal and former UP member Shariful Molla argued over taking control of the area.

As a continuation of the enmity, supporters of both groups, equipped with sharp weapons, attacked each other, leaving Sultan killed on the spot.

Angered by the incident, Shariful’s supporters attacked the house of supporters of the Jamal group and looted cattle and gold ornaments.

Police are trying to arrest the assailants involved in the crime, the OC said.

Additional police officers have been deployed to the area to avoid further trouble.
