Telangana Engineer Sridhar
Hyderabad: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) raided 14 premises linked to Telangana irrigation executive engineer Sridhar on Tuesday, June 10, unveiling suspected illegal assets and lavish spending, including a destination wedding for his son, several villas and flats.
Sridhar, a part of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project, which is under probe over financial irregularities, is being questioned by ACB officials over disproportionate assets and wealth.
Posted in the CAD Division 8 of the irrigation department at the SSRSP camp in Choppadandi, Karimnagar, Sridhar owns a four-storey building in Malakpet, a 4500 square feet flat in SKY HIGH, a premium gated community in Shaikpet, a luxury villa in Urjit gated enclave, Tellapur, a G+3 building in Warangal, and business stakes in multiple hotels in Karimnagar. Additionally, he has spent crores on his son’s destination wedding in Thailand.
According to a press note issued by ACB, searches unveiled properties owned by the accused: One villa in Tellapur, one flat in Shaikpet, 3 flats in Karimnagar, commercial space at Ameerpet, one independent building in Hyderabad, another in Warangal, and one more in Karimnagar.
16 acres of agricultural land, 19 prime residential plots in Hyderabad, Warangal and Karimnagar, two four-wheelers, gold ornaments and substantial bank deposits were also unearthed as part of assets.
The ACB suspects the amassed properties and wealth to have been acquired through unlawful means in the course of his service. The official value ascertained of these assets is less than the market value.
A case has been booked against him by the officials who have seized financial documents, property papers, and transaction records, which are being scanned for links to corruption in irrigation contracts.
Sridhar was arrested on Wednesday and sent to judicial remand. Further investigation is underway.
