Killing over land dispute is a routine matter in rural areas of the country, which has now shifted to big cities after property-grabbing became trouble-free and a gainful business.

In one such case, a man was stoned to death by a gang of alleged land-grabbers. He sustained severe head injuries and died on the spot in the jurisdiction of Golra Police Station.

In the village of Shah Allah Ditta, the land dispute took the life of Syed Mustajir Shah when dozens of people took a piece of land in their possession.

The Golra Police, quoting the statement of Syed Zubair Hussain Shah, said that the alleged land-grabbers have been identified as Dostan Khan, Wali Ahmad, Shamsur Rehman, Saleh Mohammad, Habib Khan, Yasir, Pir Mohammad and Niaz Mohammad.
