Ex Gandhinagar Collector SK Langa Arrested in Disproportionate Assets Case

Ahmedabad : In a significant development, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Gujarat has arrested former Gandhinagar district collector SK Langa on charges of possessing disproportionate assets. The ACB’s investigation revealed that Langa, during his tenure as a public servant, amassed assets worth Rs. 11.64 crore, far exceeding his known sources of income.

The period of alleged corrupt practices spans from April 1, 2008, to September 30, 2019. During this time, Langa served in various capacities as a public servant. A formal complaint against him was lodged on April 19 this year, initiating the investigation into his financial dealings.

The ACB’s probe concluded that Langa had accumulated wealth and properties significantly beyond his legal income. Following the investigation, Langa was arrested today from Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad. His arrest was executed through a transfer warrant issued by the court.

The arrest of Langa marks a crucial step in the ACB’s ongoing efforts to combat corruption within the ranks of public servants in Gujarat. This case highlights the importance of accountability and transparency in public office, and the ACB’s commitment to investigating and prosecuting those who exploit their positions for personal gain.

Speaking on the arrest, an ACB official stated, “Our investigation has uncovered substantial evidence of disproportionate assets amassed by SK Langa during his tenure as a public servant. We are determined to ensure that those who engage in corrupt practices are held accountable for their actions.”

As the investigation progresses, more details are expected to emerge about the extent of Langa’s assets and the methods employed to accumulate such wealth.
