A recent special investigation team (SIT) report has revealed shocking details implicating former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy as the primary recipient of kickbacks from distilleries in the state since 2019. The report exposes a scandal where distilleries were reportedly coerced into paying commissions to prevent disruptions in supply orders. The cash obtained through these illicit means was allegedly laundered through hawala networks, significantly influencing the liquor business in the state by promoting brands associated with syndicates. This revelation has brought to light the extent of corruption and malpractice in the state’s liquor industry. The investigation has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the system and the need for stringent measures to prevent such scandals in the future.
