Bengaluru: A Tahsildar was on Thursday allegedly stabbed to death by a retired school headmaster in Kolar district, about 80 km from here, police said.
According to police, the incident occurred when tahsildar Chandramaulishwara (54) had gone to Toppanahalli village in Bangarpet Taluk in Kolar to survey a piece of land.
There was a dispute between surveyor Rama Murthy and the retired headmaster Venkatachalapathi over ownership of the land.
