A recent report by a special investigation team (SIT) has linked former Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy to a liquor scam in Andhra Pradesh. The report reveals that kickbacks have been extorted from distilleries in the state since 2019, with Jagan Mohan Reddy allegedly being the ultimate beneficiary. The scam reportedly involved pressuring distilleries to pay commissions to prevent disruptions in supply orders. The cash obtained from these kickbacks was then laundered through hawala networks, leading to a significant impact on the state’s liquor industry by promoting brands associated with syndicates. The SIT report sheds light on the alleged corruption within the liquor business in Andhra Pradesh, implicating a prominent political figure in the process.
