Five people, including three Ansar members, were injured in a clash over a land dispute at Moulvi Pukurpar under Chandgaon police station in the port city on Thursday. Accorging to sources, the clash occurred when one Taskir along with a group of musclemen came to take possession of a portion of a 22-katha plot reportedly belonging to Sanwara Group at around 4:30pm. They attacked the Ansar members who were on guard and workers engaged in earth filling of the plot, leaving five people injured. Later, the police arrested two persons -- Morshed and Kazi Rezaul alias Mithun -- in this connection. Sanowara Group Chairman Nurul Islam, also a lawmaker of ruling Awami League from neighbouring Kotowali (Chittagong-8) constituency, said that Taskir claimed to have purchased a portion of the land from one Harun. "But if he really had purchased the portion of the land, he could have come up with documents to settle the matter instead of trying to occupy it forcibly," Nurul Islam told this correspondent.
