Abdullapurmet Tahsildar and Surveyor Arrested for Accepting Bribe

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested Abdullapurmet Tahsildar B. Sudershan Reddy and Mandal Surveyor Batuka Srinivasulu on Monday for accepting a ₹20 lakh bribe. The officials originally demanded ₹30 lakh to conduct a land survey and issue a joint inspection report required for Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority guidelines.

Acting on a complaint, ACB officials set a trap where Srinivasulu was caught receiving the money on the Tahsildar's instructions. A chemical test confirmed Srinivasulu had handled the bribe funds. Both suspects are being produced before the Principal Special Judge for ACB Cases in Hyderabad as investigations continue.
