  • ACB officers say the money was paid to secure forwarding of 11 work bills worth ₹3.13 lakh to the Divisional Engineer, Electrical Operations in Medak.
  • The ₹25,000 tainted cash was recovered from the accused, who was taken into custody and produced before the Special Court for SPE and ACB cases in Hyderabad as investigations continue.
