Eyewitnesses said the situation quickly went out of control, creating panic among families living in the area.

One Hospitalised With Serious Injuries

During the assault, one plot owner sustained severe injuries. He was immediately shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Doctors confirmed that the injuries were serious, though his condition is reported to be stable.

Allegations of Encroachment

Plot owners accused the realtor and his associates of attempting to encroach upon their legally owned plots under the guise of conducting a survey. They alleged that similar tactics had been used earlier in the area, raising fears of organised land grabbing.

Demand for Strict Action
