-
After a 15-month, multi-state investigation, the CBI-led Special Investigation Team has confirmed that ghee supplied to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams was adulterated—but not with animal fat. Instead, vegetable oils and synthetic additives were used to mimic cow ghee, implicating suppliers, intermediaries and TTD officials in a large-scale procurement fraud.
