**Headline:** Telangana Engineer Nune Sridhar Arrested for Allegedly Amassing Disproportionate Wealth
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested Nune Sridhar, an Executive Engineer with the Telangana Irrigation and Command Area Development Department, for allegedly accumulating assets far exceeding his known income sources. The ACB’s investigation revealed a staggering array of wealth, including a villa, multiple flats, commercial properties, independent buildings, 16 acres of agricultural land, 19 prime open plots, two vehicles, gold ornaments, and significant bank deposits.
Sridhar’s arrest stems from a case of Disproportionate Assets, with allegations that he acquired properties through illegal means and misused his official position. The ACB conducted searches at his residence and 13 other locations linked to him and his relatives, uncovering high-value properties in various locations, including a villa in Tellapur, a flat in Shaikpet, three flats in Karimnagar, and commercial space in Ameerpet. The bureau noted that the market value of these assets is considerably higher than their officially recorded value.
Previously, Sridhar was involved with the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project, a multi-crore initiative constructed during the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) regime, which has faced ongoing scrutiny for alleged financial and technical irregularities. Concerns escalated following structural failures, including the sinking of piers at the Medigadda barrage. K Chandrashekar Rao, the president of the BRS and former Chief Minister of Telangana, recently appeared before the PC Ghose Commission regarding the investigation into the project’s alleged lapses.
The ACB’s findings highlight the ongoing battle against corruption within government ranks, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in public service.
