The clash, which erupted around 10:30am, left 22-year-old Shambhu Sutradhar dead, said Bahubal police OC Molla Monir Hossain.

Quoting locals, Hossain said that a dispute over property between the families of Sushil Sutradhar and Parimal Sutradhar caused the clash.

OC Hossain said that Shambhu died on the spot while those injured have been taken to the hospital in Habiganj town.
