Hyderabad: A disproportionate assets case has been registered against the Deputy Executive Engineer of Irrigation and Command Area Development (CAD) Department, Nagarkurnool, for allegedly acquiring assets through corrupt means, the Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) said on Friday, November 13.

On Thursday, raids were conducted at the residence of the accused, Ragiri Satyanarayana, along with nine other places belonging to his relatives, friends, benamis, and other associates. Assets worth Rs 7.32 crore were uncovered.

This includes documents relating to a 5,200 square feet triplex villa built on a 342-square-yard plot in Thukkuguda, Maheshwaram; a 3-BHK apartment in a gated community at Karmanghat and a 2-BHK flat at Rock Town, Nagole.

Documents to 25 acre of agricultural land in Shapoor village of Wanaparthy district; nine open plots in Nagarkurnool and a farmhouse in Shapoor village were also unearthed.
