HYDERABAD: Former Mahbubnagar Municipal Commissioner Vadde Surendar, who was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials for amassing illegal assets recently, had used ill-gotten money to purchase open plots on the city outskirts.
The agency had opened one of his lockers at the Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) in Hayatnagar only to find sale deeds pertaining to the purchase of these open plots.
Sources said that they would take the accused into custody and question him over the same. "We have seized huge amounts of cash and gold ornaments in the lockers of accused official Surender and his wife. We have questioned his employees as well," officials said.
