Searches were conducted at the house of the accused officer Nune Sridhar and 13 other places which belong to him and his relatives.

"A case of disproportionate assets to the known sources of income was registered against Nune Sridhar, executive engineer, irrigation & CAD department, division No.-8, SRSP Camp, Choppadandi, Karim Nagar for having acquired these assets by indulging in unlawful practices and dubious means during his service," the anti-corruption branch said in a statement.
