Surprise checks on RTA offices reveal ₹2.7 lakh in unaccounted cash

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) seized over ₹2.7 lakh in unaccounted cash during a series of surprise checks carried out across Telangana on Thursday (June 26). The raids targeted RTA check posts, RTA offices and Sub-Registrar offices, exposing several irregularities in the functioning of these departments.

A total of ₹1,81,030 was recovered from the Salabatpur RTA check post in Kamareddy district, and RTA offices in Peddapally, Trimulgherry and Uppal. The unaccounted amount was found during routine verifications, which also revealed procedural discrepancies.

In a parallel operation, ACB teams inspected Sub-Registrar offices at Burgumpadu in Khammam district and Bheemadevarapally in Warangal district, where ₹91,000 in unaccounted cash was seized. Authorities noted that several irregularities were observed during these inspections as well, and a report will be sent to the government for appropriate action.

The ACB has urged the public to report any instances of bribery or corruption through its toll-free helpline 1064. Complaints can also be submitted via WhatsApp on 9440446106, or through the ACB’s official handles on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). The bureau assured that the identity of complainants will be kept confidential.
