Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], February 13 (HBTV): A theft involving INR 2 crore, including cash and jewellery, was reported in the Narayanguda area of Hyderabad, Telangana, police said on Thursday.

The incident occurred at midnight on January 10, with a complaint being filed two days later, on January 12.

According to officials at the Narayanguda Police Station, the stolen items are valued at INR 2 crore. A case has been registered, and an investigation is underway. Further details are awaited.

In a separate development, the Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested Manyam Narsimha Reddy, a Revenue Inspector at the Dubbaka Tahsildar Office in Siddipet district, on Wednesday, for allegedly accepting a bribe of INR 1 lakh.

ACB officials said Reddy was caught red-handed around 6:50 PM on February 12 while accepting the bribe at Laxmi Tea Point near BJR Circle, Siddipet.

The bribe was allegedly demanded to facilitate the transfer of Patta land ownership to Kumbham Sujatha from Raji Reddy in survey numbers 257, 259, 266, 275, and 287, covering a total area of 3.25 acres in Appanapalli village, Dubbaka Mandal.

Officials recovered the bribe money from Reddy’s possession, and a chemical test on his left hand confirmed contact with the tainted cash. The ACB stated that Reddy misused his official position for personal gain.

Following his arrest, Reddy was presented before the Additional Special Judge for SPE and ACB Cases in Nampally, Hyderabad. The case is under investigation. (ANI)
