Bhanjanagar: At least six persons including three women were injured after a bloody scuffle erupted between two families over land dispute in Bhaliakhai village in Ganjam district on Sunday.

The clash erupted last afternoon after one Rabindra Sahu’s family made attempts to construct a house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) on a piece of land in the village. One neighbour of him, Ajay Sahu claiming stake on the same land, objected the attempt and a verbal duel erupted between the two families over the issue at a later stage.

As the heated argument gradually escalated into a pitched battle, members of Ajay Sahu’s family attacked Rabindra Sahu’s family with cudgels and sharp weapons injuring six of them.

The injured were rushed to the Bhanjanagar Sub Divisional Hospital immediately and were discharged after treatment last night.

Police have started an investigation in the case after the family lodged a complaint against the accused today.
