Rajkot Town Planning Officer (TPO) Mansukh Sagathia, who is already on the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB)’s radar for possession of properties beyond his income, faced another blow as ₹5 crore worth of cash and 15 kg of gold was found at his office by ACB.

The gold and cash were found in Sagathia’s sealed office, and according to sources, more valuables are likely to be found once sealed lockers at the office will be opened.

Sagathia was arrested by Rajkot Crime Branch following the Rajkot fire tragedy on May 25 that took at least 28 lives.

Earlier, ACB had raided three places associated with Sagathia, and a case of disproportionate property worth ₹10.55 crore was filed against him, leading to his suspension.

ACB filed a case against him when he was found with properties and assets, including a gas agency, a petrol pump, and a bungalow, which exceeded his income by 410%.
