What's the story

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has nabbed two babus in Andhra Pradesh having disproportionate assets worth several crores.

ACB officials discovered 11kg of gold and diamond-studded jewelry from the residence of Director of Town and Country Planning (DTPC), Golla Venkata Raghu.

Raghu also owns a lodge in Shirdi. Authorities believe Raghu engaged in corrupt activities when he worked as Hyderabad's chief city planner in 2009.

Raghu had established five different companies in his mother-in-law's name and another benami Subha Rao.

All the companies were later transferred in the name of Raghu's wife Chintamaneni Gayathri. A majority of properties were also under Gayathri's name.

Both Raghu and Siva Prasad allegedly took kickbacks from companies trying to get government tenders.
