4 Jul
Summary
- Rs 1.53 crore cash, gold, and property documents were recovered.
- Assets worth nearly Rs 2.95 crore were unearthed by ACB.
- Relatives attempted to break into the sealed house.
A Rs 10,000 bribery case against a Maharashtra government officer has led to the discovery of substantial assets. The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) uncovered nearly Rs 2.95 crore in cash, gold, and property documents from the residence of Kiran Purushottam Chaudhary, a senior officer arrested last month.
The ACB teams recovered Rs 1,53,84,630 in cash, gold jewelry and biscuits valued at Rs 60,57,135, and property documents worth Rs 62,13,376. The total value of seized assets reached Rs 2,94,64,847. This discovery significantly broadens the investigation beyond the initial bribery charge.
During the investigation, authorities found Chaudhary's Jalgaon residence sealed. However, two relatives attempted to break into the property, leading to their detention and a separate case registered against them. The search was conducted in the presence of Chaudhary's wife, family members, and experts.
