NIMS doctor suspended after ACB arrest in DA case
Dr Nori Lakshmi Bhaskar, Additional Medical Superintendent and Additional Professor at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), has been placed under deemed suspension following his arrest by the Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in a disproportionate assets case. The NIMS Director issued the order after the doctor remained in custody for more than 48 hours, effective from the date of his detention until further orders.
The ACB conducted searches at multiple locations in Hyderabad, including the residences of suspected benamis. Assets uncovered during the probe include properties with registered document values of approximately Rs 6.13 crore and an estimated market value of Rs 80 crore to Rs 100 crore, luxury vehicles, gold jewellery, flats and plots. Cash of Rs 4.94 lakh was seized from an NIMS employee, and documents related to agricultural land in Maheshwaram and a plot in Banjara Hills were found. The ACB continues to verify the assets and their links to the accused.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Telangana Today and Medical Dialogues report the same core facts on the NIMS doctor's suspension and ACB seizure estimates, making the coverage uniform on the key figures. The ACB's own statement, reported by Telangana Today, adds granular detail on the 29 September searches, including specific cash amounts and the warrant details, giving the official account greater specificity. No source carries a government-critical or defence-side framing. The balanced reading is that the story remains a straight factual account of an ongoing investigation, with the ACB's version the only one on record. The next step is the ACB's verification of additional assets.
Two Telangana Today stories (30 September and 29 September) and one Medical Dialogues piece all report the same ACB-led narrative, with identical figures on the asset valuation and the same suspension order.
