As it is an offence punishable under Section 13(1)(b) read with 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, raids were conducted at 10 places including his house, office, bank lockers and other places belonging to his relatives, associates, and benamidars.
During the searches, several documents relating to immovable properties were found. The properties include 12 open plots at various locations in Hyderabad andNalgonda district, valued at Rs.58.63 lakh, two residential flats at Uppal valued at Rs.31.36 lakh.
A residential building with three floors and a penthouse in Uppal, valued at approximately Rs.2 crore, a RCC-roofed house in Suryapet, valued at Rs.4.75 lakh, and a commercial shop situated at Uppal, valued at Rs.1.06 lakh were also found. The market value of these properties is expected to be much higher than the official value.
