A former Executive Engineer of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme in Telangana was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets. The accused, identified as Srinivas Reddy, was arrested after the ACB conducted raids at his residence and other locations linked to him. The raids were conducted based on credible information that Reddy had accumulated assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. The ACB officials seized documents related to properties, bank accounts, and other assets during the raids. Reddy, who served as the Executive Engineer of the prestigious Kaleshwaram project, is now facing serious charges of corruption and illegal wealth accumulation. The Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme is one of the largest irrigation projects in India, aimed at providing water for agriculture and drinking purposes in several districts of Telangana. The arrest of a former official involved in such a crucial project has raised concerns about corruption in government infrastructure projects. The ACB has assured that a thorough investigation will be conducted to uncover the extent of Reddy’s alleged illegal activities and bring the perpetrators to justice. The arrest of the former Executive Engineer highlights the need for stringent measures to prevent corruption and ensure transparency in public projects. It also serves as a warning to officials engaged in malpractices that they will be held accountable for their actions. The authorities are expected to take strict action against those found guilty of corruption, sending a strong message against such unethical practices in the country.
