ACB raids Warangal Deputy Transport Commissioner’s properties over alleged disproportionate assets
On February 7, 2025, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in Karimnagar, India, raided the residence and properties of Puppala Srinivas, the Deputy Transport Commissioner of Warangal District, due to allegations of amassing assets disproportionate to his known income. The searches covered multiple locations in Hyderabad, Warangal, Karimnagar, and Jagtial, including the homes of Srinivas' relatives. Initial reports indicate assets exceeding ₹5 crore, including a luxury house in Hyderabad, land in Jagtial and Karimnagar, plots in Warangal, cash, and gold jewelry. This incident comes after the ACB registered 19 cases in January 2025, including 10 trap cases, one disproportionate assets case, and three criminal misconduct cases. Seventeen public servants, including outsourcing employees and private individuals, were arrested and ₹1,45,000 was seized during trap cases involving various departments. A significant disproportionate assets case uncovered assets worth ₹65,50,000 from a Tribal Welfare Department official. The ACB encourages the public to report any instances of corruption or bribery to their toll-free number 1064 or through their social media channels on X (@TelanganaACB) and Facebook (@telanganaacb).02:44 PM Feb 07, 2025 IST
