Hyderabad: The Telangana Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) is likely to file a petition seeking custody of Kaleshwaram project engineer in chief Bhookya Hariram in the disproportionate assets case.
ACB believes that the accused had violated rules and amassed assets worth Rs 200 crore. However, the officials are verifying the seized property details. The officials also will collect details from Stamps and Registration to get details about Benami properties.
