Pushpa was an cleaning staff at Sharada Hospital Shringeri and was retired in 2012. She has two sons and a daughter. She was allotted a site as well as a small house in Shringeri from Zilla Panchayat Chikmaglur under the category of low income group. There was absolutely no contribution from her children in construction of the house. She had to repay the loan she got for the house all alone throughout her service. After retirement, Pushpa wanted to stay in Sringeri and work for the temple nearby.

Daughter Geetha and son-in-law Venkatesh came to Shringeri and started residing in the same house under the pretext of taking care of Pushpa. Gradually, started harassing Pushpa and then forcing her to transfer the site and house to them. They went to the extent of giving life threat to Pushpa.
