Revenue inspector, his assistant caught taking ₹15,000 bribe in Nalgonda

A revenue inspector working at the office of the Tahsildar-cum-Joint Sub-Registrar in Nampally mandal of Nalgonda district was caught by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday for allegedly demanding and accepting a ₹15,000 bribe through a private person.

The accused officer, Rallahandi Gopa Raju, allegedly demanded the money from the complainant for an official favour related to submitting a panchanama report concerning the complainant’s agricultural land to the Tahsildar.

According to the ACB, the ₹15,000 was accepted on behalf of the revenue inspector by Adulla Yadagiri, a private employee, who was said to be working as his assistant.

The tainted amount was recovered from Yadagiri’s possession. The ACB said that the revenue inspector had performed his official duties improperly and dishonestly to obtain an undue advantage.
