The Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) conducted extensive raids on S. Narahari, Deputy Director of Lands and Survey (Multi Zone-2), following allegations of possessing disproportionate assets beyond his known sources of income. The operation marks another significant move in the state’s ongoing crackdown against corrupt government officials holding senior positions.
The raids were carried out simultaneously at 11 locations across Hyderabad and surrounding areas. Led by ACB Deputy Superintendent of Police Gangasani Sridhar, teams searched Narahari’s residence in Chatrinaka, his official workplace in Narayanguda, and several properties connected to his relatives and close associates. The coordinated operation aimed to uncover evidence of assets accumulated through illegal means.
During the searches, ACB officials reportedly seized approximately ₹32 lakh in cash from various locations. In addition to the substantial cash recovery, the investigating teams confiscated numerous documents related to multiple properties owned by the accused official. The seized documents are being examined to establish the ownership details and sources of funds used for acquiring these assets.
The ACB also recovered records pertaining to significant bank deposits maintained in various accounts. Sources indicate that investigators are scrutinizing these financial records to trace the flow of money and determine whether the accumulated wealth is proportionate to Narahari’s legitimate income as a government servant. The documentation seized includes property papers, bank statements, and investment records.
The investigation is currently ongoing as ACB officials continue to examine the seized materials and verify the details of assets, bank accounts, and investments linked to the accused officer. The bureau is conducting a thorough assessment to calculate the total value of assets and compare it with Narahari’s known sources of income during his service period.
This raid is part of the Telangana ACB’s intensified efforts to identify and prosecute corrupt officials in key government departments. The Lands and Survey Department handles critical functions related to land records and property documentation, making positions within it particularly sensitive. The bureau has been actively pursuing cases against senior officials across various departments who have allegedly amassed wealth disproportionate to their official salaries.
