The Natu family owned about 40,000 sq feet land near Natu baug on Bajirao Road. Yashwant Natu had a share of 800 sq feet. His cousins had sold their respective share to builder Karnataki. Mankar and Karnataki also wanted Natu’s share of land. The duo had contacted Natu with the help of the other accused.

As Natu had refused to part with his share,they pelted stones on Natu’s house in Sahakar Nagar in February last year and threw his belongings outside the house. Natu had mentioned in his complaint that Mankar and Karnataki had prepared the land sale agreement and other documents and handed them a demand draft of Rs 1.25 crore after taking possession of the property.

Natu signed the documents as he was under pressure for more than a month.
