In a separate case, the Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) made headlines by arresting Manyam Narsimha Reddy, a Revenue Inspector at the Dubbaka Tahsildar Office in Siddipet district. Reddy was apprehended on charges of accepting a Rs 1 lakh bribe on February 12 at Laxmi Tea Point near BJR Circle, Siddipet.

According to the ACB, the bribe was solicited to facilitate the transfer of Patta land ownership between Kumbham Sujatha and Raji Reddy, involving several survey numbers in Appanapalli village, Dubbaka Mandal. Evidence was secured through a chemical test that confirmed contact with the bribe money, leading to an arrest warrant.

Reddy's actions underscore allegations of misuse of authority for personal gain. Following the arrest, he was presented before the Additional Special Judge for SPE and ACB cases in Nampally, Hyderabad, with investigations ongoing.
