Raj Housing Board engineer's residence raided in assets case

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of the Rajasthan police today raided the residence of a government engineer here in a case of disproportionate assets, ACB ADG Alok Tripathi said.
Separate teams of the ACB, under directions from Inspector General Sachin Mittal, raided Rajasthan Housing Board project engineer Subhash Chandra Yadav's residence in the Mansarovar area and other locations in the city for documents related to movable and immovable assets owned by him, the ADG added.
During the preliminary search, ACB sleuths found documents related to two shops in the Pratap Nagar area with an estimated combined worth of Rs 65 lakh, a plot of land in Jodhpur, two new cars, 15 policy bonds, 10 bank accounts and a bank locker, ADG Alok Tripathi said, adding that the locker and the bank accounts have been seized.

He said that the accused engineer had misused his position to accumulate the assets. The assets found were 282 per cent more than the known sources of his income, ADG Tripathi said. A case has been registered against him and an investigation is on.
The ACB conducted the raid after it received a complaint online, he added.
