The city's law enforcement recovered cash amounting to Rs 6,200, two cell phones, and gold and silver items totaling 85 grams, indicating the scale of the minor's criminal activities.

Concurrently, the Anti-Corruption Bureau detained a Deputy Surveyor from Bhadradri Kothagudem district on bribery allegations, stating a high-profile arrest for demanding and accepting a Rs 50,000 bribe.
