ACB Raids Hyderabad Water Board GM Over Massive Assets Case
Anti Corruption Bureau officials uncovered huge illegal assets cash and gold during raids on Hyderabad Water Board General Manager Kumar over disproportionate wealth allegations in Telangana.
The Anti Corruption Bureau intensified its crackdown on corruption in Telangana after conducting major raids on Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board General Manager Kumar. Officials launched simultaneous searches at multiple locations following allegations that he had accumulated assets far beyond his known sources of income.
The raids began early in the morning at Kumar’s residence in Mallapur and several other connected properties. Special teams reached the locations before dawn and restricted movement in and out of the premises as part of the operation.
According to officials, the investigation expanded beyond the officer’s residence and included searches at properties linked to relatives close associates and suspected benamis. ACB teams carried out inspections at eight major locations and examined financial records documents and property details.
During the searches, investigators reportedly uncovered illegal assets valued at more than one hundred crore rupees. Officials seized documents linked to valuable agricultural land in Nizamabad district along with three luxury apartments in Hyderabad and six open plots located in prime areas.
ACB officers also recovered a large amount of cash and gold from the official’s residence. Sources said around one point one crore rupees in cash and over one kilogram of gold ornaments were found during the operation.
The latest raids are being viewed as part of a larger campaign by the Anti Corruption Bureau to target officials accused of misusing public office for personal wealth. Over the past few weeks, the agency has increased surveillance and enforcement against corruption cases across several government departments in Telangana.
Officials said searches at Kumar’s home and office were still continuing and further details about additional assets may emerge as the investigation progresses. Authorities are also verifying property ownership records and financial transactions connected to the accused officer.
