"Supreme Court PIL Seeks SIT Probe Into Alleged Use of Adulterated Ghee in Tirupati Temple Laddus"

A petition has been submitted to the Supreme Court, calling for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into allegations of adulterated ghee being used in the laddus distributed as prasadam at the Tirupati temple. The Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed by Surjit Singh Yadav, President of the Hindu Sena, who claimed that animal fat had been used in the preparation of the laddus, causing distress among Hindu devotees of Tirupati Balaji. The petitioner emphasized that the PIL represents the sentiments of Hindu devotees, whose faith has been deeply shaken by the use of impure ingredients in the sacred prasadam. This controversy gained attention last week after Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu referred to lab reports suggesting the presence of "beef tallow," "lard," and "fish oil" in the ghee samples used during the tenure of former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. www.legalmeet.in
