According to officials, the Anti Corruption Bureau conducted searches soon after the arrest. The raids were carried out at the CI’s house in Jagtial district around midnight on March 17. During these searches, officials seized a large amount of gold jewellery and Rs. 20 lakh in cash.
Meanwhile, the investigation revealed details of alleged illegal collections.
