Liquor scam case: SIT officials quiz ex-minister Narayana Swamy
The New Indian Express Vijayawada
|August 23, 2025
SUSPECTING the role of former Excise minister K Narayana Swamy during YSRC regime, sleuths of Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the sensational alleged multi-crore liquor scam, questioned the latter at his residence in Puttur for nearly six hours on Friday.
The SIT officials had originally summoned him on July 21, but he did not appear before the investigating officials citing health issues. As he failed to appear before the SIT despite repeated attempts, the SIT officials questioned him at his residence.
According to sources, the six-hour-long interrogation reportedly revolved around the circumstances behind introducing new liquor policy during the YSRCP government, and also focused on the role of Swamy in scrapping the online liquor order system and the shifting to manual procedures.
