A suspended police inspector from Maharashtra's Beed district, Haribhau Khade, is under scrutiny as an anti-corruption probe reveals he acquired assets disproportionate to his known income. The inquiry is said to have found wealth totaling Rs 2.07 crore.

According to the anti-corruption bureau (ACB), Khade, who was associated with the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), was apprehended in May. A subsequent investigation disclosed that his assets surpassed legal income by 116%.

The findings recorded that a portion of these assets, worth Rs 62.79 lakh, are registered in his wife's name. Both individuals now face charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988, as per the official statement.
