A recent Special Investigation Team (SIT) report has linked former Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy to a liquor scam in Andhra Pradesh. The report reveals that kickbacks were extracted from distilleries in the state since 2019, with Jagan Mohan Reddy identified as the ultimate beneficiary. The scheme reportedly involved pressuring distilleries to pay commissions to prevent disruptions in supply orders. The collected cash was then allegedly laundered through hawala networks, leading to a significant impact on the state’s liquor industry by promoting brands associated with syndicates. The findings of the SIT report shed light on the intricate web of corruption within the state’s liquor business.
