Hawala Transfers: ED Enters TTD Ghee Case

A new development has surfaced in the Tirumala adulterated ghee case, with the Enforcement Directorate identifying suspected hawala transactions linked to the investigation. The ED has now begun a detailed probe into the alleged money trail.

According to investigators, Pomili Jain, Vipul Jain and Bhole Baba Organic companies were involved in the hawala network. Officials say funds were reportedly routed from Delhi to Hyderabad, Tirupati, Chennai and Vijayawada.

The agency suspects that around Rs 234.5 crore was transferred through the hawala route. This revelation comes amid continuing political exchanges over responsibility in the adulterated ghee case.

The YSRCP has accused the Chandrababu government of making allegations based on political vendetta. At the same time, the party has maintained that it has no connection to the alleged wrongdoing.

YSRCP leaders have also stated that while contaminants may have been present in the ghee, there were no animal fats involved. The party continues to defend its position as the investigation progresses.

With the ED now examining the financial angle, the Tirumala adulterated ghee case has entered a new phase. The latest findings indicate that the investigation is far from reaching a conclusion.
