Family members of actor Yash, who is known for his role in KGF, reportedly got involved in a heated argument with locals of Thimmalapura village in Karnataka’s Hassan district on Tuesday over a land dispute.
According to a report in The Hindu, the fight got intense and the police had to intervene in the matter. The report stated that the residents of the village have alleged that the actor’s parents were encroaching upon their farmland.
Yash met with the police at Dudda in Hassan Taluk to handle the situation. The actor’s family said that they were building a compound wall to protect their property, according to the report.
According to The Hindu, Yash and his family members had purchased about 80 acres of farmland in Thimmalapura two years ago. The family visited the site on Monday morning to construct a compound wall around the farmland.
Once the local residents realised that the compound wall was bing constructed, they allegedly tried to halt the work and picked up an argument with the family members over encroachment issues, The Hindu stated.
Madhu, sub-inspector of Dudda Police told The Newsminute that the actor’s family hired bulldozers to build a road next to their farm, which the residents objected to.
“The residents are alleging that Yash’s family is encroaching upon their land, while the family claimed that they were constructing on a land which connects to the Kalabhairaveshwara temple behind the actor’s farm land,” she added.

The News Minute stated that both parties have lodged a complaint and a counter-complaint in this regard and investigations are in progress regarding this matter.
The report in The Hindu quoted Yash telling media persons that the road was being built for a temple nearby.
“The road is not for my farm, but for a temple nearby. We wanted to put up a compound wall, so that entry of outsiders could be stopped. If there are any differences, they can be resolved through talks,” he said.
