About seven document writers from the Sub-Registrar’s Office in Super Bazaar were on Thrusday summoned by the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) for questioning pertaining to the surprise check that was conducted by the ACB.

The Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials conducted a surprise check at the Sub-Registrar’s Office in Super Bazaar and seized ₹ 2 lakh unaccounted money from the premises on Wednesday. “We will also summon the claimants and the executants of the documents that were withheld from delivery,” said DSP K. Ramakrishna Prasad.

Sub Registrar V. Basaveswara Rao and Joint Sub-Registrar N.V. Ratna Kumar were already grilled by the ACB officials.

The ACB officials had seized ₹74,000 from the scooter of an office attendant, about ₹ 50,000 from a stamp vendor who is said to be the receiver of the bribe amounts, and the remaining from a few document writers.

The ACB officials also seized slips that indicated the bribe amount collected and disbursed.
