These raids have created a tense atmosphere in the entire area.
Suspicion of assets beyond income
According to official sources, the searches were carried out based on allegations against Ambedkar. There is a suspicion that he has assets beyond his income. The ACB’s aim is to collect complete evidence in this regard. As part of the investigations, ACB teams are examining documents and property records. They are also focusing on bank accounts, lockers and other valuables. If necessary, there is a possibility of seizing relevant records. As the information about the raids came out, interest among the people of the surrounding area increased. After the ACB officials entered the house, a large number of locals gathered. Discussions about these searches also started on social media.
Similar incidents have occurred in the past.
In Telangana, ACB raids have been carried out on officials of several government departments in the past. Raids are common in cases of corruption. However, this time in the power department is special. According to officials, the ACB’s goal is to take strict action against corruption and illegal assets. They say that the main objective in this case too is to expose the truth. The value and sources of Ambedkar’s assets are yet to be revealed. After these raids, the ACB will collect evidence and submit a report. If the allegations are found to be true, a case will be registered and further investigation will be conducted. This incident seems to have sent a warning message to some other officials.
