Adulteration Scandal at the Tirupati Temple

The investigation into the adulteration of Prasadam at the Tirupati temple revealed the involvement of a blacklisted company, Bholibaba Organic Dairy Limited, which was found to be supplying contaminated ghee. This company had been disqualified from supplying ghee due to insufficient quality control and was allegedly using proxy firms, Vaishnavi Dairy and AR Dairy, to continue its operations secretly. The scandal erupted when a new government administration inspected the ghee, leading to the discovery of animal and vegetable fats in samples taken from the proxy suppliers. The situation has resulted in significant public outrage and a formal investigation by a special team, with four executives from the implicated companies now facing charges.
