Cash to the tune of ₹3.5 lakh was seized following a joint raid conducted by the Department of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) and the Inspection Cell Office (ICO) at the Vriddachalam Sub-Registrar office on Thursday. According to a press release, the search was conducted at the Sub-Registrar office following a tip-off.

During the joint search, the team seized ₹3.5 lakh from one Abitha Kumar, a real estate broker who had received the amount from the Sub-Registrar Sangeetha, 34, on Thursday evening. In addition, evidence of bribe received through Gpay account from document writers was also noticed during the raid.
