ACB Uncovers Widespread Irregularities at 13 MeeSeva Centres in Telangana

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Telangana has uncovered significant irregularities during surprise inspections conducted at 13 MeeSeva service centres across the state. The raids, which commenced on the afternoon of April 15, 2026, and continued into the early hours of the next day, targeted various malpractices including document fraud, overcharging of citizens, and the involvement of unauthorized agents in public service delivery. The operations covered multiple districts, including Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Mancherial, Khammam, Mahabubnagar, Sangareddy, Nizamabad, Warangal, and Suryapet. Within Hyderabad, specific locations such as Amberpet, Khairatabad, Alwal, New Mallepally, Tarnaka, and Saroornagar were scrutinized. Officials focused on probing the nexus between centre staff and external agents who allegedly facilitated illegal transactions. This crackdown highlights ongoing efforts by state authorities to streamline public service delivery and eliminate corruption within government-funded digital service hubs. The discovery of large-scale fraud suggests systemic issues that may require further administrative review and stricter oversight mechanisms to ensure transparency and accountability in citizen services.
