The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Wednesday (June 3, 2026) initiated searches at 15 locations linked to suspended police officer N. Bhujanga Rao, who is among those accused in the high-profile phone-tapping case in Telangana.

According to sources, simultaneous raids are being carried out at the official’s residence in Sri Sairam Towers in Hafeezpet and 14 other locations linked to his relatives and associates. The searches are part of an ongoing probe into allegations that he amassed assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.

Bhujanga Rao, who served as Assistant Commissioner of Police, was suspended by the State government after his name surfaced in the phone tapping case, which has led to investigations into the unauthorised surveillance of political leaders, businesspersons and others during the previous administration. Further details are awaited.
