Hyderabad: An investigation into an alleged ₹8,000 bribe in Medak has led CBI to register a disproportionate assets case against one Ravi Ranjan, his mother Kiran Bala and unknown private persons. The agency calculated alleged disproportionate assets of ₹73.9 lakh, equivalent to 347% of his known lawful income during the check period.
The CBI alleged that Ranjan, with his mother’s abetment, intentionally enriched himself illicitly by acquiring movable and immovable assets disproportionate to his known lawful sources of income between April 1, 2023, and March 21, 2025. Transactions emerge from bribe probe
Ranjan had earlier been caught demanding and accepting ₹8,000 in Medak, according to the CBI. The Hyderabad Anti-Corruption Branch registered an FIR on Sept 18, based on source information, without an individual private complainant. Expenditure exceeded income Verification put opening assets at ₹14 lakh and closing assets at ₹52 lakh, an increase of ₹38 lakh. Salary and interest income totalled ₹21 lakh, against expenditure of ₹56 lakh. This yielded negative likely savings of ₹35 lakh; deducting that figure from assets acquired produced the alleged DA of ₹73.9 lakh. Listed immovable properties include a plot acquired on Sept 12, 2019, before the check period, and a plot in Jehanabad. Movable assets include over ₹38.3 lakh in SBI accounts held by Kiran Bala. The FIR invoked Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(b), and Section 12, of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, as amended in 2018, along with IPC Section 109 and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Section 49, concerning criminal misconduct and abetment.
