Police arrested RTC ticket agent P Hanumantha Rao here on Wednesday for cheating the APSRTC of Rs 5.02 lakh.
According to DCP (CCS) LKV Ranga Rao, the police recovered from him Rs 1.09 lakh in cash, two computers, three cell-phones, six Sim cards, two data cards, two ATM cards and documents relating to sale of tickets of APSRTC online. They are looking for another accused, Ramu of Mulugu in Warangal district.
Ranga Rao said that Hanumantha Rao, who has been working as a ticket booking agent of RTC for 12 years, hacked the user IDs of the Vizianagaram depot clerk and an RTC agent at Cheepurupalli.
