Yes you can claim for that. Ancestral property cant be sold without the consent of all share holder. Every one can sold only his/her share. You have full right on the ancestral property. However you have to prove that you were not aware about that thing because it has time limit according to limitation act.

You must file a police complaint that fraud has been committed in respect of property inherited by you followed by a suit in a Civil Court of competent jurisdiction for declaration as well as cancellation of the documents fraudulently executed.
You will have to array those persons who have sold as well as purchased the property as Defendants.
