India: Woman runs over church members with tractor

Armed with a gun, an alleged land mafia's wife ran a tractor over crops, injuring several women, during a land dispute with the local church in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, on Wednesday. The church and the woman both insist that a patch of land outside a church is legally theirs. As the dispute went on with none of the arguing parties backing down, the woman decided to take matters into her own hands and showed up armed in a tractor. She mowed down the land in front of the church, destroying crops grown by the community. When angry locals attempted to stop her, she just carried on driving, running over a woman in the process. Once she did stop, church members quickly surrounded her and started hitting her. Once the police arrived on site they detained the tractor driver, charging her with attacking a woman and displaying firearms. The land dispute has since gone to court but no verdict has been reached yet. Locals allege that she is the wife of a mafia man in the community.
