The Supreme Court rejected a petition by activist K.A. Paul for a CBI investigation into alleged adulteration of Tirupati Laddu, citing the impracticality of creating separate states for religious matters. Previous claims of animal fat usage in the laddus caused political conflict, with ongoing investigations managed by a Special Investigation Team.
Today, On 1st October, the Andhra Pradesh government paused the SIT investigation into the Tirupati laddu controversy, following a Supreme Court order amid concerns over public allegations of adulteration. The stay lasts until the next hearing on October 3, aimed at preserving the investigation’s integrity, as emphasized by the court’s response.
