They seized ₹70,000 in cash, along with 250 grams of gold ornaments, a car, and two motorcycles. Assets such as high-end equipment, insurance policies, and documents related to immovable properties owned by Mr. Sirasagi were also seized.
Mr. Sirasagi, who was earlier posted as Kalaburagi taluk officer in the department, was transferred to Bidar district as Planning Officer following complaints of duping people with false promises of government jobs after taking huge sums of money from them.
