Telangana ACB arrests officials in bribery and assets cases

The Telangana Anti‑Corruption Bureau (ACB) conducted a sting operation in Siddipet district, catching Tahsildar Korra Dileep Naik accepting a Rs 70,000 bribe to process land‑conversion applications. The official was arrested on the spot, the cash was seized, and he was produced before a special court.

In a separate high‑profile case, the ACB arrested suspended Deputy Superintendent of Police Bheem Reddy on charges of possessing disproportionate assets. Raids at his residence and at linked properties across Telangana and Karnataka uncovered assets worth roughly Rs 200‑300 crore, including cash, gold, silver, and numerous immovable properties. The bureau denied any preferential treatment and said the investigation follows standard procedure.

Both actions are part of a broader anti‑corruption drive in the state, with the ACB urging citizens to report bribery attempts via its helpline and online channels.
