The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested Kaleswaram Project ENC Bhukya Hari Ram in a disproportionate assets (DA) case.
The ACB searched 14 places connected to the ENC and unearthed massive amounts of unaccounted assets.
After the searches, the ENC was produced before a Judge on Sunday, and the judge remanded Bhukya Hari Ram to 14 days of custody.
The ACB investigation concluded at the house of Kaleswaram Project Engineer-in-Chief (ENC) Hari Ram. ACB officials found that the ENC had illegal assets worth around Rs 200 crore. Along with Hari Ram’s house, ACB officials searched the houses of his relatives too.
There were allegations since a long time that there was massive corruption behind changing the design of the Kaleshwaram Project, in which Hariram had a key role.
The National Dam Safety Agency (NDSA) report on the Kaleshwaram Project was released recently.
ACB teams searched Hari Ram’s house, his Jalasaudha office, and the houses of Hari Ram’s relatives and friends from Saturday morning.
The ACB statement said Hari Ram has 28 acres of agricultural land in Markook mandal, where KCR’s farmhouse is located. He has a commercial property in Amaravati, the capital of Andhra Pradesh. He also has villas in Shaikpet and Kondapur in Hyderabad, flats in Madhapur, Srinagar Colony and Narsingh. He also has 20 acres in Patancheru and two independent houses in Srinagar Colony.
