HYDERABAD: A family was ostracized by community elders after they failed to turn up at a meeting to discuss the settlement of a land dispute in Bairavuni Banda village of Shaligouraram mandal, Nalgonda district.

Pulijala Anjaiah had a dispute with another person of the same village and same caste over a piece of land. Village elders then issued a diktat asking Anjaiah to show up for a discussion on June 26.

However, Anjaiah chose not to follow the order. This infuriated the village elders who, in turn, ostracised Anjaiah’s family.

Further, they also issued an order that anyone in the village maintaining ties with Anjaiah’s family would be fined Rs 15,000. Anjaiah was also told not to move about, in the village. Based on Anjaiah’s complaint, police have registered a case and further investigation is on.
