Youths roped in Andhra to launder liquor scam money, say SIT officials

THE Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged ₹3,500-crore liquor scam that reportedly took place during the previous YSR Congress Party regime has unearthed another startling revelation - engineering graduates and unemployed youth were used to transport and store illicit money procured from liquor sales and distillery commissions.

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE

The involvement of young professionals came to light during the questioning of one of the key persons and 34-year-old engineering graduate Katta Pranay Prakash by SIT officials recently. According to sources close to the probing agency, over 200 youth, mostly engineering graduates and unemployed youths with links to YSRCP leaders, were recruited between 2019 and 2024. These individuals were allegedly enticed with lucrative incentives for their participation.
