Bengaluru's "Radha vs Radha" land drama: Who really owns Krishnan's ₹20cr plot?

India

A 12-acre plot in Bandapura village near Bengaluru is caught up in a wild inheritance tangle.
After owner Krishnan died in 1986, four women—all named Radha—have stepped up, each claiming to be his legal wife and rightful heir.
However, the fourth Radha has not personally appeared in court; her claim is presented by a representative.
Each Radha has different documents to back her claim, but there are serious allegations of forgery and shady transfers swirling around.

Four Radhikas, 1 property: Court steps in

The first Radha has old land records from 1978; the second claims a gift deed (but it's under suspicion); the third brings a recent will and says she got compensation for highway land; the fourth is represented by someone else, making things even messier.
The Karnataka High Court now says only Krishnan's true legal wife and heirs can own the land, ordering police to dig into all documents and relationships.
Nearly 40 years on, the real heir is still unknown—and this case shows just how tricky (and dramatic) inheritance battles can get.
