Major Scam Hits Nizampet CMC

Corruption allegations have surfaced in the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation’s Nizampet Circle, where an engineer is accused of orchestrating a large-scale scam involving tenders, contracts, and bill payments.

Over ₹2.96 crore in bills were reportedly cleared under his family-owned entity, along with additional works worth nearly ₹10 crore. The municipal authorities have initiated an inquiry into the matter.
