Telangana ACB Catches 23 Officials for Bribery

Telangana ACB Catches 23 Officials for Taking Bribes in February

The Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) registered 17 cases against government officials for accepting bribes in February. Out of these, 15 were trap cases, and two were related to officials owning assets beyond their known income. A total of 23 people, including two outsourced employees, were arrested, and Rs. 7.60 lakh in cash was seized.

Many government officials, who are supposed to serve the public, have been caught taking bribes instead. Some people are forced to pay extra money to get their work done, leaving them frustrated. As a result, they are directly reporting corruption to ACB, leading to more officials getting caught.

Recently, an official from the electricity department in Gachibowli was caught accepting a bribe of Rs. 50,000. Upon investigation, ACB found he owned land worth Rs. 4 crore in Shankarpalli, along with valuable properties, buildings, and gold in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy district, totaling about Rs. 100 crore.

The ACB has registered cases across multiple government departments, including Forest, Education, Revenue, Panchayat Raj, Electricity, and BC Welfare. In addition to cash seizures, properties worth Rs. 4.13 crore have been identified in two asset-related cases.

The ACB urges people to report corrupt officials by calling the toll-free number 1064.

Telangana Police Launches India’s First Law Enforcement CISO Council

The Telangana Police, with support from the IT industry and academia, launched the Law Enforcement CISO (Chief Information Security Officers) Council on Saturday. This is the first-of-its-kind initiative in India.
