HYDERABAD – December 24, 2025 – Mood Kishan, Deputy Transport Commissioner of Mahabubnagar district, is under investigation by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) after authorities uncovered assets worth ₹12.72 crore during searches conducted at multiple locations connected to him. The ACB has registered a disproportionate assets (DA) case against Kishan, accusing him of amassing wealth through corrupt practices during his time in office.

The searches, carried out on December 23, targeted Kishan’s residence, as well as eleven other properties belonging to his family members and associates. The haul included a 50% stake in the Lahari International Hotel in Nizamabad, a 3,000 sq yards Royaloak Furniture space, numerous residential flats, 31 acres of agricultural land, 10 acres of commercial land in the Nizamabad area, a 4,000 square foot polyhouse, significant bank balances exceeding ₹1.37 crore, over one kilogram of gold ornaments, and two luxury vehicles. The ACB stated that the market value of the seized properties is likely significantly higher than the initial estimate.

“The officer is accused of acquiring assets disproportionate to his known sources of income by allegedly indulging in corrupt practices and dubious means,” said an ACB spokesperson. The case has been registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

The ACB is continuing its investigation to uncover further assets.
