ACB Traps Telangana DRDA Official and Assistant for Accepting Rs 39 Lakh Bribe Online
· 1 min read
Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials conducted a sudden raid at the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) office in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district of Telangana. They arrested Project Officer Satish Reddy and Technical Assistant Raju for demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 39.17 lakh from a contractor via online bank transfer to release funds for PMKSY works.
During the probe, ACB officials found that the accused forced the contractor to transfer funds through UPI and online banking to clear pending bills related to works worth around Rs 1.62 crore. Unable to bear the harassment, the contractor lodged a complaint with the ACB and submitted relevant bank statements and WhatsApp chat records as evidence.
Following the complaint, an ACB team led by DSP Sambaiah conducted inspections and took both officials into custody. A case has been registered against them under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and they are being produced before the Special ACB Court in Warangal.
