Satish Poojary in his complaint has said that his younger sisters Kusuma, Malathi and Sujatha have been ill-treating him for long and have even sold his land through forgery.

Rajeevi died in a private hospital in the city on Saturday March 30 due to ill health, but Satish was allegedly not allow to pay his last respects.

Rajeevi Poojary had 2.80 acres of land. Satish alleged that all the land was illegally taken over by the three daughters without giving an inch to him.

"My sisters sent me away from the house and never allowed me to return. I even requested my sisters to let me take my mother along and look after her, but they did not allow it. It was I who paid my mother's hospital bill," said Satish.

Speaking to Daijiworld, Satish said that his three sisters even tried to sell 34 cents of farmland without his permission. "They have already sold some parts of the land by forging my signature," he alleged.

On Sunday March 31, when Sathish went to see the mortal remains of his mother, his sisters's children arrived at the spot and allegedly refused to let him see the body. An argument arose, and after the intervention of police, Satish was allowed to see the body. However, the sisters' children refused to let him perform the last rites, it is learnt.
 
Sathish Poojary has filed a case in Kankanady police station in this regard.
