Pune: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has filed a case against Shirish Yadav, the former Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Slum Rehabilitation Department, for allegedly possessing assets worth crores that are disproportionate to his known income.

The investigation revealed that Yadav and his wife, Pratiksha Shirish Yadav, hold assets totaling ₹1,38,74,044, significantly exceeding their declared income.

The complaint was lodged by ACB Additional Superintendent of Police Dr. Sheetal Janve at the Bund Garden Police Station. This inquiry comes after Yadav was suspended during his tenure as Deputy Commissioner at the Pune Municipal Corporation in relation to the Kothrud TDR case.

The investigation into Yadav's assets began while he was serving in the Slum Rehabilitation Office. Despite being provided ample opportunity to clarify the discrepancies regarding his wealth, Yadav failed to provide a satisfactory explanation.

Authorities found that the value of his assets was inconsistent with the income derived from his known sources, indicating that he acquired approximately ₹1,38,74,044 through corrupt practices, amounting to 20.34% of his income.

Additionally, his wife, Pratiksha Yadav, was implicated for encouraging his actions, leading to a case being filed against her as well. The investigation is currently being led by Police Sub-Inspector Anil Katke.

Earlier in July, the ACB has filed a case at Bundgarden Police Station against a former Deputy Director of Education from Pune, who is currently serving as the Secondary Education Officer in Nandurbar, and his wife, for amassing unaccounted wealth.

Praveen Vasant Ahire (46) and Smita Praveen Ahire (41), residents of Anandnagar, Pathardi Phata, Nashik, have been charged with accumulating assets worth ₹31,78,200 (25.26 per cent more than their known income) through corrupt means during Praveen Ahire's tenure.
