Just when G. Thippeswamy, G. Virupakshappa and G. Rajashekharappa, three brothers and farmers from G.B. Hatti village were happily tending to their ancestral agricultural lands in Chirathagundu Village, Karnataka, a man named Basappa showed up claiming he owned the land. He argued that their ancestors Doddamallappa and Sannamallappa had sold the land, back in 1946, to his ancestor Goudar Sannabasappa.
Basappa even mutated his name in the revenue records, using the common surname 'Rajashekharappa' to back up his claim to the ancestral land of G. Thippeswamy, G. Virupakshappa and G. Rajashekharappa (the three brothers).
