ACB officials conducted extensive searches at Sucharita’s residences, her relatives’ houses and other associated areas on charges of illegally accumulating assets. ACB officials revealed that a huge amount of movable and immovable assets were found in these searches. Officials said that the preliminary investigation revealed that Sucharita had illegally acquired assets worth Rs. 5.05 crores beyond her official income. Sucharita’s corruption case came to light during the raids conducted by ACB officials at the Shamirpet Tahsildar’s office on May 26. There were allegations that she demanded a bribe of Rs 30 lakh from farmers to clear the file related to Nala conversion. In this context, ACB officials caught her red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 2 lakh in advance through her driver. Sucharita, who was arrested in this case, is currently in jail. Expanding the investigation of the same case, ACB officials conducted a comprehensive investigation into her financial transactions and assets. In this process, it was found that she had accumulated huge assets beyond her income and a Disproportionate Assets (DA) case was registered.

The authorities are investigating the sources of all these assets.
