  • Infosys co-founder Senapathy Kris Gopalakrishnan, former IISc Director Balaram and 16 others were named in a case under the Prevention of SC/ST Atrocities Act.

The article from NDTV discusses the legal case against Kris Gopalakrishnan, co-founder of Infosys, who has been accused by his niece, Divya, of misappropriating her share of the family property. Divya alleges that after her father's death in 2005, Gopalakrishnan and other family members manipulated her into signing away her rights to the family estate, which included significant land holdings in Bengaluru. She claims that she was misled about the documents she signed, which were in Kannada, a language she does not understand. The property in question has since appreciated immensely in value due to Bengaluru's real estate boom. Gopalakrishnan has refuted these allegations, stating that the property was legally divided among family members as per their father's will, and he has not taken more than his share. The case has drawn attention due to Gopalakrishnan's high profile in the tech industry, and it highlights issues of family disputes over inheritance and the complexities of legal documentation in property disputes.
