The Anti-Corruption Bureau intensified its crackdown in Tirupati, pushing the investigation into alleged illegal asset accumulation to the next level. The searches entered the second day and covered multiple locations across Tirupati and Nellore districts.
Fresh Searches at Renigunta Sub-Registrar Office Employee’s Residence
Early in the day, ACB teams resumed inspections at the house of Tirumalesh, an employee of the Renigunta Sub-Registrar Office. At the same time, officials expanded the operation to five other locations linked to him. As a result, the investigation gained momentum across both districts.
Property Documents Seized During Raids
During the searches, officers secured documents related to 11 immovable properties. These records include sale deeds and ownership papers. Officials are now examining the purchase history and financial sources behind each property. This step will help establish the scale of asset accumulation.
Gold, Silver, Cash, and Vehicles Recovered
Meanwhile, the raids led to significant recoveries. Officers seized 1.472 kilograms of gold and 8.77 kilograms of silver from the inspected premises. In addition, they recovered ₹15.26 lakh in cash. The teams also took possession of one car and three motorcycles found during the operation.
Focus Shifts to Bank Lockers
Following the seizures, officials decided to open two bank lockers linked to Tirumalesh. These lockers may hold additional valuables or financial documents. Therefore, ACB teams have begun the required procedures to access them at the earliest.
Probe Enters Critical Phase
With every recovery, the case has moved into a crucial stage. Investigators are now matching seized assets with declared income details. If discrepancies continue to surface, further legal action is expected.
For now, the Anti-Corruption Bureau remains focused on completing asset verification swiftly. More developments are likely as the probe progresses.
