Bescom engineer trapped by ACB owns a fortune

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Wednesday raided the properties of Bescom executive engineer L S Lakshmish in Bengaluru and Hassan.

Lakshmish, posted at the Bescom North Circle on Crescent Road, was trapped by ACB officials on March 28 taking a bribe of Rs 10,000. During investigations, police found that he had assets disproportionate to his income. They then raided his properties.

The raid on Lakshmish’s flat in an apartment (Prestige Woods) on Magadi Road and his house in Arsikere in Hassan began early on Wednesday morning.

During the searches, officials found that Lakshmish owns one more flat (at a Jindal apartment) apart from the one on Magadi Road,
