The Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has identified assets worth ₹7.32 crore in searches conducted at 10 locations in a disproportionate assets case against R Satyanarayana, a Deputy Executive Engineer in the Irrigation and Command Area Development (CAD) Department in Nagarkurnool district.
The searches were conducted on Thursday, 12 November at Satyanarayana’s residence in Hyderabad, his native village of Shapoor in Wanaparthy district and the premises of his relatives, friends, alleged benamis and associates. The ACB said he had allegedly accumulated assets disproportionate to his known sources of income through corrupt practices and dubious means during his government service.
Satyanarayana joined government service in 2005 as an Assistant Engineer. The ACB initiated an investigation following allegations that he had amassed wealth beyond his known sources of income. A case has been registered under Sections 13(1)(b) and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
The ACB said the total documented value of the identified assets was ₹7,32,66,581. It said the market value of the movable and immovable properties could be several times higher than their documented value.
Satyanarayana’s wife is employed as an Assistant Divisional Engineer (ADE) in the electricity department, an ACB official said.
The bureau is also examining assets held in the names of his relatives and family members. Further verification of properties and investments is underway.

Five vehicles, a Mahindra XUV 7XO, Mahindra TUV 300, Maruti Celerio, Hyundai Santro and Mahindra Bolero, and a two-wheeler were identified. The vehicles are registered in the names of Satyanarayana and his family members.
The ACB identified investments worth approximately ₹20 lakh in mutual funds and chit funds. Officials are yet to verify additional investments, including LIC and other insurance policies held with banks.
The bureau is also verifying a gold loan taken by Satyanarayana from a bank, including details of the loan and the gold pledged against it. No bank lockers were found during the searches, the ACB official said.
