Ludhiana: Man and helper attack two brothers in property dispute, arrested

They said the dispute arose from a disagreement over the eviction of part of a house. According to police, one of the victims was seriously injured and taken to hospital, where his condition is now considered stable.

The Moti Nagar police have registered a case of attempt to murder against Tarun Jindar of Chaudhary Colony and his accomplices Lakhwinder Singh of Bhamian Kalan, Harjinder Singh alias Goldy Grewal, Hakam Hussain alias Kuku and D'Souza, who goes by the same name. The First Information Report (FIR) was filed following a complaint by Tarun Jindar's brother Jaswinder Jindar, 34, a resident of GTB Nagar in Mundian Kalan.

Jaswinder said in his complaint that her father, Dharam Chand, had divided the ownership of three houses among his sons. While houses number 50 and 51 were allotted to Jaswinder and his brother Surinder, house number 49 belonged to Tarun.
