ACB Raids Telangana Land Records Official in DA Case as AP Unit Traps Civil Supplies Officer

The actions reflect a broader 2025 surge in cases alongside new digital reporting tools.

Overview

  • Telangana ACB arrested Assistant Director K. Srinivasulu and registered a disproportionate-assets case under Sections 13(1)(b) and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 after raids on his residence and six linked locations.
  • Investigators documented a flat at My Home Bhooja, a food processing unit and rice mill, agricultural lands in Karnataka and Anantapur, multiple plots in Mahabubnagar and Narayanpet, ₹5 lakh in cash, about 1.6 kg of gold, 770 g of silver, and two cars, with asset verification continuing.
  • Case records cite a 2024 HYDRAA petition alleging altered geo-coordinates and improper permissions near Errakunta Pond, a matter that went to the High Court and preceded demolitions of illegal structures.
  • The Andhra Pradesh ACB laid a trap in Visakhapatnam and caught Civil Supplies official T. Krishna accepting a ₹10,000 bribe, booking case 11/RCT-VSP/2025 under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018 and producing him before the Special Judge.
  • ACB Director General Charu Sinha introduced a QR-code complaint system during Anti-Corruption Week to widen access to reporting, as officials reported 31 corruption cases in erstwhile Adilabad this year versus 18 in 2024.
