Telangana ACB Charges Excise Inspector With Accumulating Disproportionate Assets

Hyderabad — The Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has filed a disproportionate assets case against Gundeti Ramu, a Prohibition and Excise Inspector stationed in Karimnagar Urban who previously held the position of Station House Officer in Vemulawada. The bureau contends that he accumulated wealth through illicit means during his tenure in public office.

On Thursday, the ACB released a statement indicating that the case was initiated on June 24, 2026. This action followed earlier investigative searches linked to a criminal misconduct complaint filed on March 17, 2026, under Crime No. 05/RCO-ACB-KNR/2026.

The searches yielded substantial findings. Investigators recovered ₹20.67 lakh in cash, uncovered ₹29.88 lakh deposited in the officer's State Bank of India account, and discovered ₹16.77 lakh in his father's Union Bank of India account. Additionally, officials identified personal articles valued at ₹11.97 lakh, an undeveloped plot of land in Karimnagar appraised at ₹6.05 lakh, and commercial property in Sircilla worth ₹2.18 lakh. The combined value of all identified assets reached ₹87.44 lakh.

The bureau has alleged that Ramu leveraged his official authority to acquire both movable and immovable assets. Officials noted that the actual market valuation of the immovable properties likely exceeds their recorded values significantly.

The investigation remains active, with the ACB continuing its probe into the accumulation of these assets.
