Hyderabad: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials on Wednesday caught Village Revenue Officer (VRO) of Dattayapalli village under Keshampet mandal of Ranga Reddy District red-handed while demanding and accepting Rs 4 lakh from a farmer for issuing digital passbook.
According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Suryanarayana, a farmer M Chennaiah of Dattayapally village under Keshampet mandal owns nine acres seven guntas land in Survey No. 85/Aa for which he approached VRO Anthaiah in June first week for digital passbook.
When the VRO advised him to meet him after a week, he went to Anthaiah on June 18, where he handed over him a new digital passbook without entering details of the extent of land on it.
When the farmer noticed it, he immediately consulted the VRO again during which he allegedly demanded Rs 8 lakh for him and the Tahsildar for entering the land details in the passbook.
Shocked farmer approached the ACB officials, based on which the officials laid a trap and caught VRO red-handed while accepting Rs 30,000 from the complainant. The officials recovered Rs 4 lakh from the accused. ACB officials conducted searches and informed that role of Tahsildar V Lavanya of Keshampet is being investigated.
