The Anti Corruption Bureau(ACB) of Telangana is solving one of the biggest corruption cases of the state. In the same context, the ACB has arrested Gaddam Nagesh, Additional Collector (Revenue), Medak, and five others on Wednesday for asking and accepting a bribe of Rs 1.12 crore to issue a no-objection certificate (NOC) for 112 acres of land at Chippalaturthi village of Narsapur Mandal.

The person who was asked for money, K Linga Murthy, a resident of Sherilingampally, approached the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) officers and informed that he had already paid Rs 40 lakh in cash and a deal was struck as they asked for five acres of land worth Rs 72 lakh. Following the complaint, the ACB officials, led by Suryanarayana carried out a raid at Nagesh’s residence at Machavaram in Medak on  Wednesday morning.
