- ACB officers in Khammam arrested Motor Vehicle Inspector A. Vara Prasad at the Wyra RTO unit after a trap linked to an alleged payoff to waive penalties on transport vehicles.
- Investigators say the payment was taken by his private aide, Raja Shekhar, who fled with the tainted cash after the handoff.
- Reports differ on the exact figure, with a local report citing Rs 24,000 while the ACB DSP put the alleged demand at Rs 24,800.
- During post-trap checks, officials seized Rs 50,200 in unaccounted cash from the inspector’s car and took the vehicle into custody.
- The bureau said the accused would be produced before the special court in Warangal that hears ACB cases, which is the standard step after a trap.
