Relief For KB Ganesh Kumar In Property Dispute Case, Forensic Confirms Pillai's Signature.
Kerala Transport Minister and actor KB Ganesh Kumar is out of the chaos after a forensic report confirmed that the signature on his father’s will was genuine.
This comes after his sister, Usha Mohandas alleged that Kumar had forged their father’s signature to acquire a major share of the family’s assets.
The forensic report has dismissed the forgery allegations. The family inheritance dispute has also been resolved.
Ganesh’s father, R. Balakrishna Pillai, was a renowned politician who served as MLA, MP, and State Minister. He passed away in 2021.
The allegations had caused a stir in Ganesh Kumar’s political career, delaying his inclusion in the cabinet despite winning a record fifth term in the Pathanapuram constituency in 2021.
However, in 2023, Kumar was inducted as the State Minister of Transport after a mid-term reshuffle. Throughout the ordeal, Kumar maintained his innocence, and a witness corroborated his claims.
Some said on the social media platform that the forensic report clearing his name, Ganesh Kumar’s political stature has received a slight boost as Kerala gears up for the next assembly elections in 2026.
He’s been a Member of the Kerala Legislative Assembly, representing Pathanapuram since 2001, and is the Chairman of the Kerala Congress (B) party.

In addition to his transport portfolio, Ganesh Kumar has also been the Minister for Forests and Environment, Sports, and Cinema in Kerala from 2011 to 2013.
