Guwahati: A family in Furhani Ati village faces death threats and a violent land grab attempt. The children of the late Ramjan Ali filed a formal complaint at the Juria Police Station. They claim a family they sheltered after the 2023 Laokhowa-Burhachapori forest eviction drive now wants their property.
Trouble started after Ramjan Ali offered humanitarian aid to the displaced. He let them build a house on his land. Now, the squatters claim the plot as their own. The complainants hold valid documents proving their ancestral ownership. They say Akkas Ali sold the land 50 to 60 years ago before moving to the forest to live on encroached soil. The accused now deny this sale happened.
Tensions remain high. The complainants accuse the squatters of bringing in hired men to intimidate them. The police complaint names Akkas Ali, Mofidul Islam, Salman Ali, Hanifa, Ashadul, and Mohammad Ali as the primary culprits. Local residents have also raised concerns about the behavior of the accused. The complainants stated that their opponents are "issuing threats to kill members of their family."
Juria Police have started a preliminary investigation into the matter. Officers are currently reviewing land deeds to settle the dispute. No further arrests have been made as the inquiry continues.
