A long-standing property dispute escalated into a violent clash between relatives in Kudiniramuddanahalli village, Hunsur taluk.
Though the matter was pending in court, members of the Thimmamma and Honnegouda families ignored the legal process and confronted each other over four acres of farmland in Survey Nos. 54 and 54/1.
The quarrel soon turned physical, with both sides hurling abuses and fighting on the disputed land. In a shocking move, some relatives even lay under a JCB vehicle in protest.
The entire altercation was recorded on mobile phones by the warring families themselves.
Hunsur Rural Police have taken up the case and are investigating further
