Hyderabad: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) conducted searches at the residence of Moinuddin, key accused in the sheep purchase scam, following suspicions of irregular money transactions. Moinuddin and his son Imran fled to Dubai days before cases were registered in connection with the scam.
Amid speculation of his arrest, ACB officials clarified that they had only conducted searches at his residence in Kokapet. During the operation, investigators reportedly found evidence of suspicious financial activity linked to Moinuddin's bank accounts.
The ACB has also sought the bank account statements of Moinuddin’s wife for verification as part of the ongoing investigation. Moinuddin allegedly played the central role in the scam and remains absconding. A lookout notice has been issued to facilitate his detention. He is believed to be residing in Dubai.
