Natore, Sep 3 -Four people, including a woman, sustained bullet injuries when shots were fired during a clash over occupying disputed land in Lalpur upazila of Natore this morning.
The injured -- Asad, 30; Bajlu, 33; Abdul Hannan, 40; and Hasina Begum, 50 -- are undergoing treatment at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH).
Locals and police said that there has been a longstanding dispute between Abdur Razzaque and his neighbour Abu Bakar over the ownership of a land in Rasulpur village.
