Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta Police on Friday raided the house of an office assistant (Grade II) of the Indore Development Corporation here and uncovered movable and immovable property worth crores of rupees in his name.
According to Lokayukta Police DSP Brajraj Singh Parihar, acting on a complaint about Rajendra Birthare amassing property disproportionate to his known sources of income, they raided the Santnagar-located house of the accused on Friday morning.

"We also recovered one kilogram gold and three-and-half kilogram silver ornaments from the clerk's house. Besides, he owns 32 acres of agricultural land."
