The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in Telangana carried out a raid on the residence of Dasari Narendar, the incharge revenue officer of Nizamabad Municipal Corporation, on Friday. The raid resulted in the seizure of assets worth over ₹6 crore, leading to the registration of a disproportionate assets case against Narendar. According to media reports, the revenue officer is accused of accumulating assets through corrupt practices and dubious means during his service.
The ACB’s search operation, conducted at various locations connected to Narendar, including his residence, yielded a significant amount of assets. These included ₹2,93,81,000 in cash, ₹1,10,00,000 in bank balances under his wife and mother’s names, nearly 595 grams of gold worth ₹6,00,000, and 17 immovable properties valued at ₹1,98,00,000. The total worth of the seized assets is estimated to be around ₹6,07,81,000.
Following the raid, Narendar was arrested and presented before the Special Judge for SPE and ACB Cases Court in Hyderabad. An investigation into the matter is currently underway. A video of the ACB raid at Narendar’s residence has also gone viral on social media, sparking widespread discussion and reactions from netizens.
Many users praised the ACB team for their vigilance, highlighting the need for increased awareness and stricter action against corruption across all departments. Some comments emphasized the need for departmental accountability, suggesting that the supervisors should be held responsible for the officer’s actions. Others expressed shock at the scale of the disproportionate assets, demanding transparency into the modus operandi employed for acquiring such wealth. The case has raised concerns about the prevalence of corruption and the need for effective measures to combat it.
