Chandauli Land Clash: 3 Injured, 5 Booked Over Property Row
A violent clash over a land dispute in Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh, left three injured. Police have booked five people following the assault.
A long-standing property feud turned violent in the Sujabad Padao area of Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh, leaving three people injured after a heated confrontation escalated into a physical brawl. The incident has led to the booking of five individuals as police launch an investigation into the assault.
A Five-Year Feud Ignites
The conflict stems from a land dispute that has reportedly been simmering for approximately five years. According to the complainant, 46-year-old Deepak Paswan, the tension reached a breaking point recently when construction activities resumed on the contested plot of land.
The family claims that the legal battle had previously found some resolution in 2021, when a court issued a stay order to halt all construction on the site. However, Paswan alleges that the opposing party ignored the judicial mandate and began building on the land once again.
The Confrontation and Assault
Upon discovering that construction had restarted, Deepak Paswan visited the site accompanied by his daughters, Akanksha and Payal. The intention was to request a stop to the work, but the encounter quickly soured.
What began as a verbal argument rapidly devolved into violence. Paswan alleges that he and his family were brutally assaulted by a group of neighbors. The accused individuals named in the complaint are:
- Chandan Paswan
- Lorik Paswan
- Abhishek Paswan
- Indu Devi
- Rajmani Devi
Beyond the physical violence, the complainant stated that the accused unleashed a torrent of verbal abuse and issued death threats against him and his family members.
Medical Emergency and Legal Action
The clash left three people injured, with Deepak Paswan sustaining serious injuries. He is currently undergoing medical treatment at a nearby hospital, while other injured family members are also receiving necessary care.
Following the formal complaint lodged by Paswan, the local police have registered a case against the five named suspects. Sub-Inspector Virendra Kumar Maurya has been tasked with leading the investigation.
While the police are currently examining all aspects of the case, officials noted that the current details are based on the complainant's statements, as the accused party has not yet provided a formal statement regarding the incident.
