Bengaluru: Lokayukta Police officers on Thursday arrested KR Puram Tahsildar Ajit Kumar Rai under charges of having acquired assets disproportionate to his income.


Lokayukta Bengaluru City SP KV Ashok said that the officers, during a recent raid on the house and office of the Tahsildar, found that he had acquired property through illegal means. “We are yet to investigate the matter and also question anonymous people,” he added.


“The Tahsildar was found to have acquired more than 150 acres of land illegally. Although the Lokayukta officers questioned him, he is not divulging information on the sources and purchase of the property. He was, therefore, detained late Wednesday night and arrested Thursday morning,” said the SP.
