Overview
- Telangana’s Anti‑Corruption Bureau carried out coordinated searches at about a dozen premises tied to Sunkari Narahari, deputy director in the Lands and Surveys department, and produced him before a special ACB court.
- The special court remanded Narahari to 14 days of judicial custody as investigators continue forensic checks on seized items and documents.
- Officials reported recovering large sums of cash, substantial bank balances and fixed deposits, gold and silver, and property documents for multiple plots, flats and buildings linked to Narahari and associates.
- Investigators identified two bank lockers in the name of Narahari’s wife that are due to be opened and said they are tracing benami links and third‑party holdings to map the asset trail.
- The operation follows a recent ACB arrest in a separate disproportionate‑assets case and reflects a broader push by the bureau to use asset seizures, bank records and locker openings to verify officials’ declared income.
