Hyderabad: The sleuths of Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Friday arrested Irrigation and CAD department Deputy Executive Engineer (DEE) R. Satyanarayana and remanded him to 14 days judicial custody.
Satyanarayana was sent to Chanchalguda prison after completing the formalities, an officer associated with the investigation said.
The arrest followed after the ACB on Thursday carried out raids at 10 locations linked Satyanarayana in Nagarkurnool district, in connection with a disproportionate assets case. The coordinated searches began between 9.30 am and 10am and covered locations across Telangana linked to the engineer, his relatives, and his close associates.
The teams conducted simultaneous raids on Satyanarayana's workplace at the irrigation department office in Nagarkurnool, his residence at the Madhavaram Serenity gated community in Bairamalguda, and properties located in his native village of Shahpur in Wanaparthy district.
During the day-long inspections, the ACB said, personnel seized various financial records, including land registration papers, property deeds, bank passbooks, and digital transaction logs. “We are verifying these records to establish the total value of his undisclosed holdings,” an officer said. “The case is under investigation.”
The ACB said it had seized documents regarding 25 acres of farmland in Wanaparthy, nine open plots on his family members’ names, a villa in Tukkuguda, a three BHK apartment in Karmanghat, a 2 BHK apartment in Rock Town in Nagole, 50 tulas gold and mutual fund policies. The officer said the ACB was also examining Satyanarayana's fixed deposits, insurance and other policies.
