Qutubullapur SRO Bribe Racket Unearthed by ACB
Imagine you want to register your house to make it officially yours.
At an office in Qutubullapur, some people called document writers were asking for extra money, like a big tip, from people getting their houses registered.
They were asking for about 10,000 rupees!
The police, called the ACB, came and caught them.
They found papers and money that showed these writers were taking these extra payments.
The police are still trying to figure out if the people working in the office knew about this and helped the writers.
They want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
The ACB conducted a surprise raid at the Qutubullapur Sub-Registrar Office (SRO).
Evidence suggests document writers collected illegal fees from customers for property registration.
These writers allegedly colluded with SRO staff to prioritize documents.
An extra 'service fee' of Rs 10,000 was reportedly charged per property.
The ACB seized registered property papers and cash, and is investigating staff involvement.
