A trader was killed by his rivals as a sequel to dispute over a piece of land in Karamdi village under Gangni upazila of Meherpur yesterday. Police said a gang of four to five led by Mohir Uddin and Mizan Uddin of the village attacked Sader Ali,45, around 6:00am while returning home after saying Fajr prayers at a mosque. The gang took him to a roadside field and slit his throat. Officer-in-Charge (OC) Matia Rahman of Gangni police station said a gang led by Sader killed Safdar Ali, father of Mohir and Mizan, a year ago. ''A rivalry between the two groups had been prevailing for long over a piece of land,'' the OC added.
