Lokayukta Police, who had registered a Disproportionate Assets (DA) case and raided the premises linked to K. R. Puram Tahsildar S. Ajith Kumar Rai, arrested him on Thursday after they found a huge cache of property documents in benami names from his premises.
A. Subramanyeshwara Rao, IGP, Lokayukta Police told The Hindu that this was a rare case where the officer raided in a DA case had to be arrested, as they felt his custodial interrogation was necessary. “We have found a large tranche of documents of benami properties during raids on his premises, a probe into which needs custodial interrogation,” he said.
