The assets unearthed worth (as per document value) ₹3.58 crore, but sources in the ACB said that the market value would be close to ₹30 crore.
The assets include a house site (400 square yards) in Visakhapatnam, a site at Kakinada, building (G+2) on 400 square yards and a doctor’s chamber.

According to ACB DSP (Vizag urban) Kinjarapu Ramakrishna Prasad, the site was purchased by Nalli Babu with a fair amount of contribution from Pamu Panduranga Rao, engineer-in-chief of Public Health and Municipal Engineering.
