In a stunning turn of events, a Bhopal-based engineer, identified as Hema Meena, was raided recently. While Hema is employed with a measly monthly salary of Rs 30,000 a month, properties under her name, worth Rs 7 crore have been taken under scrutiny.
The Special Police Establishment (SPE) Lokayukta Bhopal executed a daring raid on the house of a lowly contractual engineer, that can leave any hard-working and honest salaried individual in awe. The relentless sleuths unveiled a staggering empire of wealth, valued at a jaw-dropping Rs 7 crore—a sum so disproportionate that it defied all reason and logic, according to officials close to the investigation.
This engineer, whose monthly salary amounted to a mere pittance of Rs 30,000, stands accused of amassing wealth that far surpassed her known income by an astonishing 232 percent. The authorities were left stunned by this audacious display of ill-gotten gains acquired through alleged nefarious means.
It has come to light that the accused engineer had slyly purchased a vast expanse of land, a staggering 20,000 square feet, under her father’s name.
But this was just the tip of the iceberg in her web of deceit. The engineer, it is alleged, went on a relentless spree of property acquisition. Multiple properties across Bhopal, Raisen, and Vidisha were added to her burgeoning empire.
