By: Tupaki Desk | 10 Jan 2026 12:46 AM ISTThe sacred Tirumala Laddu controversy had been talking point in the Telugu state for the last few months, and it has reached a new pinnacle point. A shocking fact has been established in connection with the case and it has grabbed all the attention.
The Tirumala laddu ghee adulteration case has taken a sensational turn with a key accused admitting to corruption for the first time during the investigation.
Dairy expert Vijayabhaskar Reddy, named as Accused No. 34, has reportedly confessed to accepting a bribe in exchange for acting in favor of companies involved in supplying adulterated ghee. His admission has intensified the seriousness of the case, which has already caused widespread concern due to the religious and public significance of the Tirumala laddu.
According to investigators, Vijayabhaskar Reddy allegedly used his technical expertise to manipulate reports and influence quality checks, allowing adulterated ghee to pass scrutiny.
His role is believed to have helped the accused companies continue their operations without detection for a considerable period. The confession is seen as a crucial breakthrough, strengthening the prosecution’s case against the wider network involved in the scam.
In an attempt to avoid arrest, Vijayabhaskar Reddy filed a petition seeking anticipatory bail in the Nellore ACB Court. However, the court dismissed his plea, taking a strict view of the allegations and the seriousness of the offence.
The rejection of bail is being viewed as a clear indication that the investigating agencies are unwilling to show leniency. Officials believe this development could lead to more revelations and possibly expose other influential figures connected to the ghee adulteration racket.
