A team of the Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta was taken surprise after it found that Hema Meena, an assant engineer in-charge (contract) at the state police housing corporation, has acquired properties worth 332 per cent more than her income, despite earning a monthly salary of only ₹30,000, Live Hindustan reported.

The Lokayukta conducted raids on Hema Meena’s residence, farmhouse, and office, resulting in the identification of assets worth approximately ₹7 crore.

On Thursday, the Lokayukta conducted raids on her residence, farmhouse, and office, resulting in the identification of assets worth approximately ₹7 crore. Additionally, reports suggest that the Lokayukta team found a television worth ₹30 lakh at the home of the sub-engineer. Additionally, 20 cars, including luxury ones, were discovered parked at her bungalow.
Not only this, it has been found that during her 13 years of service, Meena’s luxurious farmhouse contained 70 to 80 cows.
