During the raid at the Indiranagar excise office, the Lokayukta found files being managed improperly. A bag of ganja and liquor bottles were found at the Ramamurthynagar excise office, and the excise officials failed to produce any documents and crime numbers related to this. It was found that the excise officials had appointed private individuals illegally, who were being paid salaries to the tune of Rs 20,000 by the officials.
