Meanwhile, injured Dulal Chowkidar said, we had a dispute with someone about a piece of land long ago and we have been trying to resolve it repeatedly but there was no solution. Due to this, Mujam Sardar's people hacked me with a ram da. I am now suffering from insecurity. I want proper justice from this government.

Meanwhile, injured Dulal Chowkidar's wife Mahinur Begum said, our only demand is to get justice for them.

Dulal Chowkidar's grandson Billal Chowkidar said, there can be a local dispute over land, so how could someone beat an old man like this? We want justice for them. Even after going to the house of accused Mojam Sardar, no trace of him was found.
