Morena: The Lokayukta Police raided the premises of a stenographer working with the Madhya Pradesh revenue department and recovered Rs 9 lakh in cash besides jewellery and papers of several immovable properties belonging to him, an official has said.

Surendra Singh Yadav is attached to the Chambal division commissioner’s office.

“Our teams raided the (residential) premises of Surendra Singh Yadav in Morena and Gwalior districts and recovered Rs 9 lakh in cash,” Lokayukta DSP Praduman Parashar said on Thursday evening.

Besides, the teams recovered jewellery, passbooks of his bank accounts and papers related to several immovable properties owned by him, he added.

The anti-corruption watchdog’s action against the stenographer came following complaints that he had amassed wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income, Parashar said.

He was booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act and further investigation was on, the DSP added.
