The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has registered a disproportionate assets case against K Madhusudhan Reddy, a Joint Sub-Registrar posted at SRO-1, Rangareddy district, who is currently under suspension. The investigation has uncovered assets worth crores of rupees allegedly accumulated beyond his known sources of income, prompting the anti-graft agency to initiate legal proceedings against the suspended official.
During extensive searches conducted at multiple locations, the ACB officials identified and seized assets valued at ₹7.83 crore based on document value, though the actual market value is believed to be significantly higher. The seized properties include a triplex independent house built on 300 square yards in Kapra, ECIL, along with an open plot located in Chintapalaguda, Ibrahimpatnam. Investigators also discovered 27 acres of agricultural land in Naskal village, Parigi Mandal, and 1 acre of commercial land in Mangalapally, Ibrahimpatnam.
The investigation revealed that Reddy had invested ₹80 lakh in a liquor business operating under the name ARK Spirits. Additionally, ACB officials uncovered that the suspended official had created two shell companies registered in the names of his wife and children, allegedly to conceal the true extent of his wealth and financial transactions. A farmhouse equipped with a swimming pool at Naskal, valued at approximately ₹1.2 crore, was also identified during the probe.
The searches led to the recovery of substantial movable assets including cash amounting to approximately ₹9 lakh and gold ornaments weighing around 1.2 kilograms. The ACB team also seized multiple luxury vehicles from the premises, including an Innova Fortuner, a Volvo XC60, and a Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus, all registered in the names of family members.
The anti-corruption officials are currently conducting further verification of the seized assets and documents to establish the complete extent of disproportionate wealth accumulated by the suspended officer. The investigation aims to determine the exact period during which these assets were acquired and calculate the disproportion between his legitimate income as a government servant and the total value of properties and investments identified.
The ACB has intensified its scrutiny of property registration offices across Telangana following multiple complaints of corruption and illegal wealth accumulation by officials. The case against K Madhusudhan Reddy is part of the ongoing efforts by the anti-corruption agency to crack down on public servants who misuse their official positions for personal gain. Further investigation is underway to trace additional assets and financial transactions linked to the suspended Joint Sub-Registrar.
