Fish poisoned and killed over pond dispute in Sherpur

Allegations have been raised of poisoning a pond to kill fish worth about Tk 530,000 due to a dispute over pond ownership in Bogura's Sherpur. The victim, Rabindranath Hawaldar, has filed a written complaint at the Sherpur police station against 3 individuals.

Rabindranath, a resident of Jhajor village, owns a 185-decimal pond in Khamarkandi mouza through inheritance. On Sunday morning, the accused allegedly attempted to drain water using a shallow machine and threatened him when he intervened. Later that night, large fish were taken away and poison was applied to kill the remaining fish, causing an estimated loss of Tk 530,000.

Sherpur Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Ekramul Islam stated that a written complaint has been received in this regard and legal action will be taken following an investigation.
