Purnachandra Rao, 55, had started his career as a Motor Vehicle Inspector in 1981, and eventually worked at RTA or Road Transport Authority in Guntur, Ongole and Nellore. But going by his assets, he seemed to have been on the fast track to make money for a long while.

The official has denied any wrongdoing and says the assets are worth Rs 3 crore.
Mr Rao came under the attention of the anti-corruption branch after a complaint alleging corruption was filed against him, Mr Santho added.
The official, who is from Vinukonda in Guntur district, lives with his family in Kothapet.
