AP probing Rs 5-crore scam in Delhi's TTD
Officials of Tirumala-Tirupati Devasthanams, Gol Market Complex, here have allegedly swindled TTD funds up to Rs 5 crore but efforts are on to hush up the same, it is learnt.
New Delhi: Officials of Tirumala-Tirupati Devasthanams, Gol Market Complex, here have allegedly swindled TTD funds up to Rs 5 crore but efforts are on to hush up the same, it is learnt.
The TTD officials have diverted the funds allotted to them under 'Anna prasadams' in the recent times by puffing the figures of devotees, it is learnt. This apart, there have been allegations of harassment of the temple priests by the TTD officials who had imposed a 'daily collection cut' of Rs 1,000 per day from the 'Aarti' plate.
Though this has come to light sometime back, the Resident Commissioner's office is said to be attempting to hush it up from this end. The Resident Commissioner holds the office of the Local Advisory Committee of the temple and is incharge of its affairs.
There is a Vigilance probe into the affair now and it is said that the TTD officials could submit bills up to Rs 2 crore but not beyond.
Advisor to the AP Government, Ajeya Kallam, visited the temple on Friday for a first-hand information, but the media was barred from asking any questions. The RC office refused to give information and advised the media to contact the Vigilance officials at Tirumala.
"Our RC is particular that his office gets a clean chit," officials stated.
