Chandigarh, March 26

Two men were killed and 10 others injured in a clash between two families at a village in Haryana’s Karnal district on Thursday, triggered by a dispute over a piece of land, police said.

An officer from the Gharaunda police station in the district said the clash took place between the members of two extended families at Mundigarhi village.

Of the two who died, Wahid (55) was allegedly run over by a tractor, while the other man, said to be his relative, died of injuries he sustained in the clash.

Gunshots were also fired during the clash, though no one sustained bullet injuries, police said.

The row erupted after one of the families tried to take possession of a four-and-a-half-acre land in the village, leading to the violent clash.

The injured are being treated at a local hospital, police said.
