During the raid, the Lokayukta sleuths recovered documents pertaining to residential plots, hotel, share in liquor shops, four luxury cards and as many two-wheelers apart from documents of investments in different banks.

"After preliminary assessment of the assets owned by him, it has been ascertained that the market value of the assets including a house in Sudama Nagar, another house in Bhakt Prahlad Nagar and a hotel, are grossly disproportionate to his known sources of income", said a Lokayukta official.
