A suspended tahsildar and joint sub-registrar from Hyderabad’s Shamirpet has landed in deeper trouble after the Anti-Corruption Bureau booked her in a disproportionate assets case.
The ACB allegedly uncovered assets worth Rs 5.05 crore during searches linked to Thummakomma Sucharita, her relatives, benamis and associates.
Sucharita had earlier been arrested in a Rs 30 lakh bribery case and is currently in judicial custody.
As part of the ongoing investigation, officials carried out searches at her residence and other locations connected to her network.
The searches allegedly led to the discovery of 2.17 acres of agricultural land in Siddipet, three flats in Hyderabad, two plots, a Volkswagen car, a Hyundai Creta, gold and diamond jewellery worth Rs 1.2 crore, Rs 12 lakh in cash and Rs 38 lakh in bank deposits.
Officials said the total value of the assets detected so far is around Rs 5.05 crore. However, the market value of these properties could be several times higher.
According to the ACB, Sucharita is accused of acquiring assets disproportionate to her known sources of income by indulging in corrupt practices and dubious means during her service.
Officials said further verification is underway to determine whether more assets were acquired in the names of others.
The latest case has added to the mounting allegations against Sucharita, with the ACB now probing both the suspected illegal wealth trail and the earlier bribery case involving the suspended revenue officer.
