KGF
star
Yash's
family
has
landed
itself
in
a
controversy
surrounding
a
piece
of
land
in
the
Thimmanahalli-Dudda
village
of
Hassan.
The
villagers
have
raised
objection
to
the
actor's
earth-levelling
work
on
the
vacant
plot
on
Tuesday.
The
residents
even
alleged
that
the
plot
belonged
to
them
and
that
Yash's
family
was
encroaching
it.
The
police
have
revealed
that
the
villagers
picked
a
fight
with
Yash's
family
members
after
they
realised
that
the
actor’s
kin
had
arrived
with
bulldozers
and
had
started
the
land
levelling
work
on
the
plot.
The
residents
alleged
that
they
were
making
a
road
there.
However,
Yash
has
spoken
up
over
the
issue
and
said
that
they
were
only
making
a
compound
wall
to
protect
their
property.
The
Hindu
has
reported
that
Yash
met
with
police
officials
of
Dudda
in
Hassan
with
respect
to
the
protest
by
residents.
The
Dudda
police
sub-inspector
Madhu
said,
"The
residents
are
alleging
that
Yash's
family
is
encroaching
upon
their
land,
while
the
family
claimed
that
they
were
constructing
on
a
Kharab
land,
which
connects
to
the
Kalabhairaveshwara
temple
behind
the
actor's
farm
land." The
police
officer
added
that
the
villagers
and
Yash's
parents
have
lodged
a
complaint
and
a
counter-complaint
respectively.
They
are
currently
looking
into
the
matter
and
investigations
are
on.
After
being
summoned
to
the
police
station,
Yash
shot
back
at
the
allegations
and
told
the
reporters
that
he
had
purchased
the
farm
land
to
get
into
farming
in
the
days
to
come.
He
said,
"I
am
not
here
to
make
profits.
I
will
not
bother
about
my
image.
I
am
a
son
of
this
state,
and
if
I
want
I
will
own
property
anywhere
in
this
state.
Who
can
stop
me."
The
actor
added
that
he
is
ready
to
donate
even
10
acres
of
land
for
the
welfare
of
the
people
of
the
village,
but
he
cannot
tolerate
his
parents
being
'harassed
or
targeted'.
