Updated: Jul 5th, 2024


Former Gandhinagar Collector and Revenue Officer SK Langa was arrested on July 4 in a case involving unaccounted assets worth ₹11.64 crore by the Gujarat Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) following his transfer from Sabarmati Central Jail.

He is accused of committing significant corruption by misusing his position.

Earlier, the ACB had noted irregularities with Langa’s assets a month ago. It was alleged that he engaged in corrupt practices by collaborating with his son, Parikshit Gadvi, to accumulate substantial wealth through illicit means, including a rice mill and farmhouse in Sanand, and properties in Bopal.

Langa served as the Collector in Gandhinagar from April 2008 to September 2019, during which he allegedly engaged in corrupt activities.

Through a transfer warrant from Sabarmati Central Jail, Langa was apprehended. During the investigation, it was found that he had amassed unaccounted assets amounting to ₹11.64 crore.
