Lokayukta officials in Indore raided three sites linked to a cooperative manager and uncovered assets worth more than ₹2 crore, including a house, land, a JCB machine and a tractor‑trailer.
The Lokayukta office in Indore conducted simultaneous raids at three locations associated with a manager of a local cooperative society. The operation, carried out by a team of investigators, aimed to verify the manager's declared income against his actual holdings.
Investigators discovered a substantial cache of undisclosed assets valued at over ₹2 crore. The seized items included a residential property, a plot of land, a JCB construction machine, a tractor‑trailer, and several other valuables.
The manager, whose official salary is modest by government standards, is alleged to have accumulated the wealth through illicit means. The Lokayukta team has documented the findings and forwarded the case to the relevant authorities for further legal action.
This raid forms part of a broader anti‑corruption drive in Madhya Pradesh, where Lokayukta officials have intensified scrutiny of public servants and officials suspected of amassing unexplained wealth.
