A 50-year-old woman was killed and six others injured in a violent land dispute in Alwar district, Rajasthan, on Friday. Police reported that the clash took place in Raisikh Bas village near Mubarakpur in the Naugawan area, where two factions of a family confronted each other with sticks and stones over three bighas of land.
Allegedly, members of one faction opened fire, and a bullet hit Deepo Bai (50) near her neck, killing her instantly.

"The dispute over three bighas of land had been simmering for about 20 days. Deepo Bai's husband, Charan Singh, cultivated two bighas while the remaining one bigha was being farmed by his cousin Jangeer, who had recently obtained a stay order on the entire land," the police said.
What Actually Happened?
On Friday morning, Jangeer arrived at Singh's house with about eight men armed with guns and sticks, launching an attack. During the stone-pelting, Jangeer allegedly fired shots, killing Deepo Bai. Singh, his sons Kuldeep and Kulwant, and two others sustained injuries and are receiving treatment at a hospital. Four suspects have been detained for questioning, while additional police personnel have been deployed to maintain law and order.
The investigation is ongoing to trace the remaining absconding accused, authorities said.
In a separate incident, the body of a young woman, believed to be around 20 years old, was discovered with bullet wounds in the GTB Enclave area of Shahdara, Delhi, police said on Monday.
