The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has intensified its probe into the Rs 3,200 crore AP liquor scam. As part of its ongoing investigation, the SIT carried out simultaneous raids on multiple offices linked to Narredy Sunil Reddy, a close aide of former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
According to officials, searches were conducted at 10 office locations in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. The Hyderabad raids included premises at Road No. 3 Sneha House, Road No. 2 Sagar Society, Katedan–Rajendranagar, and Khairatabad–Kamalapuri Colony Phase 1. In Visakhapatnam, operations were carried out at Walter Road West Wing and other key addresses.
Investigators revealed that Sunil Reddy owns eight companies in Hyderabad, operating through four offices, and four companies in Visakhapatnam with two offices. The SIT suspects that these companies were used to channel liquor kickback money into legal businesses to convert it into white money.
At present, several prime accused in the liquor scam are in jail. While some have secured bail, others remain in custody. The SIT has been systematically identifying individuals and companies linked to the scam during Jagan’s government and is tightening its investigation to trace the money trail.
The latest raids are expected to bring more clarity on how funds were routed through industries and corporate entities to mask their illegal origin.
