According to allegations raised by villagers, a woman identified as Jannat Begum, along with her father, Abul Kashem Mia, and Rosna Begum, has been involved in repeated disputes that have affected peace in the locality. Villagers further alleged that Jannat had frequently assaulted her husband, Nazrul Islam, using footwear and a broom.
