Telangana Corruption Case: Deputy Transport Commissioner with salary of ₹ 1 lakh has 40 acres of land, 1 kg of gold and hotel-showroom network! Sensational disclosure of property worth more than Rs 12 crore in ACB raid.
Telangana Government Officer Corruption ACB Action News: During the action against corruption in Telangana, a case has come to light which has surprised everyone. Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has registered a case against Mahabubnagar district Deputy Transport Commissioner Mood Kishan on charges of possessing assets beyond his means. Investigation has revealed that the officer has more than 40 acres of land, more than 1 kg of gold jewelery and investments worth crores of rupees.
12 crore figure or even more?
According to the ACB, the documentary value of the seized properties is estimated to be around Rs 12.72 crore. But investigators say this is just a paper price. The actual market value may be many times higher, as it includes premium land, stakes in hotels and expensive business investments.
How did you create such an empire with so much salary?
The monthly salary of an officer of the rank in which Mood Kishan was posted is around Rs 1 to 1.25 lakh. In such a situation, the question arises that how can a government officer with a limited salary set up a hotel, showroom and property of hundreds of acres?

What was found in the raid?
ACB raided Kishan’s house and 11 other places linked to him. The information that came out from there surprised even the investigating agencies. The recovered assets included:
- 31 acres of agricultural land in Sangareddy district.

- 3,000 sq yard furniture showroom in Nizamabad.
- Freeze bank balance of Rs 1.37 crore.
- Gold jewelery more than 1 kg.

How did a real estate and hotel businessman become an officer?
The investigating agency alleges that Kishan built a shadow empire of hotels and real estate while in government service. This is a direct violation of the Prevention of Corruption Act. This transformation of a government employee into a hospitality and real estate mogul points towards deep corruption in the system. ACB officials say that the matter is not just about the property figures, but about the manner in which this property was created. It is alleged that Mood Kishan built a “shadow empire” of hotels, showrooms and real estate while in active government service.
Under which sections was the case registered?
ACB has registered a case against Mood Kishan under sections 13(1)(b) and 13(2) of the amended Prevention of Corruption Act. These sections relate to illegal acquisition of property and criminal misconduct.
