A recent report by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has linked former Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy to an alleged liquor scam in Andhra Pradesh dating back to 2019. The report suggests that kickbacks were extracted from distilleries in the state, with Jagan Mohan Reddy identified as the ultimate beneficiary. The scam reportedly involved pressuring distilleries to pay commissions in order to prevent disruptions in supply orders. The collected cash was allegedly laundered through hawala networks, resulting in a significant impact on the state’s liquor industry by promoting brands associated with syndicates. The findings of the SIT report have raised concerns about corruption and illegal practices within the liquor business in Andhra Pradesh.
