A 70-year-old man was killed today (November 6) by his nephews over a disputed land in Singra upazila of Natore.

The deceased was Arshab Ali, a resident of Choupukudia village under the upazila.

Singra police station officer-in-charge Asmaul Haque said legal action would be taken.

Locals said there had been a long-standing dispute between families over ownership of a piece of land.

In the morning, members of both families were locked in an argument and at one point nephews Yousuf and Ahsan beat Arshab with sticks, leaving him seriously injured.

The locals rushed him to the Upazila Health Complex where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
