A khatib of a local mosque and two others were killed in a clash over a land dispute at West Para in Kutupalong under Ukhiya upazila of Cox`s Bazar this morning.
The deceased were identified as Abdullah Al Mamun, khatib of Kutupalong Bazar Jame Mosque; his cousin Abdul Mannan; and Mannan`s sister Shahina Begum, reports The Daily Star.
Ukhiya Police Station Officer-in-Charge Arif Hossain confirmed the incident, saying, "We are still working on the matter and will provide details later."
