According to Rediff, the agency uncovered assets estimated at Rs 4.75 crore during searches conducted on Tuesday.
The searches took place at 10 locations, including the official's house, office, and bank lockers, as well as premises belonging to relatives, associates, and suspected benamidars. The ACB stated that the official allegedly acquired these assets through corrupt practices during his service.
Among the identified properties are 12 open plots in Hyderabad and Suryapet district, two residential flats in Uppal, a residential building with a penthouse in Uppal, a house in Suryapet, and a commercial shop in Uppal.
