₹6.87 crore worth assets unearthed in ACB raids against Tahsildar
Other assets identified included ₹4 lakh in cash, bank balances of ₹8.60 lakh, 680 grams of gold ornaments valued at around ₹5.85 lakh, three four-wheelers and two two-wheelers valued at approximately ₹59 lakh, and household articles and electronic gadgets worth ₹11 lakh.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) seized assets valued at ₹6.87 crore on Thursday, in connection with a disproportionate assets (DA) investigation against a Tahsildar assigned to the Divisional Administrative Officer position at the Ibrahimpatnam RDO office. Desani Srinivas Reddy, the accused, was implicated based on allegations of amassing disproportionate assets through corrupt practices.
ACB officials conducted searches across his residence, office, and five other properties belonging to relatives, associates, and others. The seized assets comprised two residential flats in Karmanghat, a G+3 penthouse, agricultural land, open plots, a share in a restaurant, and various other possessions like gold ornaments, four-wheelers, two-wheelers, and household items.
The market value of these assets is projected to exceed their official valuation. The ACB is currently verifying additional assets. The same officer, Desani Srinivas Reddy, had faced a DA case on December 14, 2009, while working as a Mandal Revenue Inspector in the office of the Tahsildar, Maheshwaram mandal.
