Revenue officials made markings of house sites and placed stones. Today morning, Venkataiah (farmer) went to one such site, claiming that land is his own and pulled out the stone markers. It is in fact a government site and revenue officials made markings.""When Venkataiah removed stone markers, Village Revenue Officer (VRO) complained to us, the police. We filed a case against him under section 447 and 427 of IPC. He argued with us that the site belongs to him. We told him to go to higher officials but it is not correct to remove stone markers.
