Sub-Registrar Offices Raided, Document Writers Apprehended
Imagine people who help others buy and sell houses.
Sometimes, these helpers and the government officials at the house-selling offices work together to ask for extra money, called bribes, from people.
If people don't pay, their house paperwork can't be processed.
Police officers who fight against cheating went to these offices very early in the morning.
They closed the doors and searched everywhere for proof of this cheating.
They found many helpers inside and even took some money from one of them.
They are looking for more evidence to stop this dishonest practice so people can buy and sell houses fairly.
ACB officials raided multiple Sub-Registrar offices in Hyderabad's Kukatpally, Moosapet, Quthbullapur, and Serilingampally areas.

Over 15 document writers were found inside the offices and are alleged to be crucial for file acceptance and slot bookings.
