Overview
- ACB Rangareddy range officials caught T. Sucharitha, the Tahsildar and Joint Sub‑Registrar of Shamirpet, accepting a ₹2 lakh part payment that was recovered from her private driver, V. Nagesh.
- The agency says the ₹2 lakh was part of a ₹30 lakh demand for processing and approving a nala conversion application covering 30 acres of agricultural land.
- Both the Tahsildar and her driver were arrested, produced before the Special Court for SPE and ACB Cases at Nampally, and placed in judicial remand as the ACB opened a formal investigation.
- The ACB described the officer’s conduct as improper and dishonest and urged citizens to report any demand for bribes through its toll‑free helpline 1064 or official channels.
- The case highlights how local officials who handle land conversion and registration can influence approvals, and it could prompt more sting operations and scrutiny of land‑use decisions in the region.
