A land dispute escalated tragically in Faridpur's Boalmari upazila, Bangladesh, resulting in the death of a 71-year-old woman. Firoza Begum was allegedly beaten to death following an argument over the construction of a bathroom on contested property.

The incident occurred around 11:30 am in Bonchaki village. According to family members and police, Firoza had been engaged in a long-standing dispute with Tulu Mia and his family from the neighboring Ramchandrapur village concerning her father's land. The conflict reportedly intensified when Firoza went to supervise the sewerage line work for the bathroom being built on the disputed site.

Family members stated that Firoza was attacked during this supervision. She was critically injured and taken to the Boalmari Upazila Health Complex, where doctors pronounced her dead. Sabur Nesa, Firoza's sister, alleged that the land had been forcibly occupied and that her mother was killed over the dispute. Azizur Molla, the victim's son, expressed his desire for justice, stating, "Our land had been occupied forcibly. When we went to build a bathroom there, my mother was beaten to death. I want justice for her killing."

Md Jalal Sikder, a local union council member, confirmed that a court case regarding the land is currently pending between the two families. Md Anowar Hossain, the officer-in-charge of Boalmari Police Station, confirmed the incident and stated that the body would be sent for an autopsy at Faridpur Medical College Hospital. Legal procedures are reportedly underway.
