Telangana DSP Sankireddy Bheem Reddy Arrested in Disproportionate Assets CasePreviousNext

The Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested Deputy Superintendent of Police Sankireddy Bheem Reddy on July 7 in connection with a disproportionate assets case. Following searches at 16 locations linked to him and associates across Telangana and Karnataka, officials recovered assets estimated between Rs 200 crore and Rs 300 crore, including multiple residential and commercial properties, agricultural land, cash, gold, silver, and bank deposits. The ACB alleges these assets were amassed through corrupt practices beyond his known income. He was produced before the ACB court and sent to judicial custody.
