Telangana Engineer Caught Accepting Rs 2 Lakh, Rs 32 Lakh Seized From Home
Anticorruption Bureau officials arrested a 33-year-old municipal engineer in Telangana's Peddapally district for allegedly accepting a bribe. A subsequent search of the official's residence led to the seizure of more than Rs 32 lakh in unaccounted cash.
Kallepalli Sathish Kumar, a 33-year-old municipal engineer, was apprehended by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 2 lakh. The incident occurred at the Municipal Office in Telangana's Peddapally district, where Kumar was stationed.
Reports indicate that the bribe was solicited in exchange for performing official duties related to a municipal project. Following the initial trap, law enforcement conducted a comprehensive raid on the accused official's residence to search for further evidence of illicit wealth.
