The Enforcement Directorate has launched a money laundering probe into an alleged ghee adulteration scam linked to Tirupati laddus. The case involves senior TTD officials and follows claims of adulterated ghee supply worth Rs 250 crore.
Devotees at Sri Rajarajeshwara Swamy temple in Vemulawada complained of sub-standard laddu prasadam, with some laddus found to have fungus and a stale smell. Authorities replaced trays, citing moisture due to rains, and assured corrective measures
A controversy is brewing over ghee procurement at the Sri Seetha Ramachandra Swamy Devasthanam at Bhadrachalam, with the top temple official now facing disciplinary action.
After receiving feedback from pilgrims over the poor quality of laddus in the last few years, besides interacting with the Potu workers (laddu makers), for the first time, the TTD had sent ghee supplies to an outside lab for adulteration testing.
We have decided that henceforth devotees, who do not have darshan tokens can register their Aadhaar card at the laddu counters and get two laddus, TTD Additional EO Ch Venkaiah Chowdhary said.
Based on the recommendation, temple authorities initiated action against three AEOs, four supervisors, a senior assistant, two junior assistants, two outsourcing employees and a barber.
