The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has registered an offence against Manoj Solanki, the suspended deputy engineer of Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) for alleged possession of 171% disproportionate assets on Thursday.

Solanki was suspended due to alleged corruption in the construction of the Hatkeshwar flyover connecting Khokhra to the CTM Char Rasta intersection.

The ACB has initiated an investigation into his income, investments, expenses, and bank accounts during the period from April 1, 2010, to November 30, 2019.

During the investigation, it was found that the accused officer, during his tenure, acquired disproportionate assets worth ₹2.99 crore, exceeding his legitimate income of ₹1.74 crore.
