Firing between two parties over land dispute, sensation spread in the area
Asansol. An incident of firing centered on a land dispute has come to light near Chandrachud Mor under Asansol North police station. It was told that during this time, a bullet was fired after hitting Dinesh Gorai’s vehicle and after receiving the information, the police reached the spot and started investigating the incident.
It is said that this firing took place over supremacy between land mafias. However, Dinesh claims that he is not in the land business. It is being said that his henchmen, under whose patronage he was earlier, have done this to make Dinesh shine. It is noteworthy that Dinesh has also been accused of being involved in coal business. However, he claims that at present he administers the toll tax of the Zilla Parishad. Apart from this he is in other business.
Ward No. 20 councilor Arjun Manjhi said that for some time, the increasing influence of land mafia in this area was coming to the fore and it was being alleged that the land mafia was occupying anyone’s land, even the pond. They were filling and plating. Today’s incident also seems to be related to the same. He said that he was in Asansol when he was informed about the incident over phone. When he reached the spot, he saw that a JCB was being driven on the ground and Dinesh Gorai’s car was attacked. He said that the villagers said that about 40 to 50 people were trying to capture the lands. The administration was immediately informed and the JCB machine was handed over to the administration and the work was stopped. He said that he feels that those who attacked are not local people but outsiders.
