The Special Investigation Team (SIT) revealed shocking details in the remand report of Ajay Kumar, who was arrested in the adulterated ghee case. He allegedly supplied chemicals to the Bhole Baba company, which provides ghee for Tirumala laddu preparation.
Between 2020 and 2024, Ajay Kumar earned crores by supplying large quantities of chemicals to Bhole Baba. According to the SIT report, these chemicals were used to produce adulterated ghee that was later sent to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) through tankers.
Investigations found that Bhole Baba used over 90 percent palm oil in the ghee production. To make the product appear like pure ghee, Ajay Kumar reportedly added chemicals such as monoglycerides and acetic acids. SIT officials confirmed that these substances were part of the mix used for preparing the Tirumala laddus.
Ajay Kumar, listed as A16 in the case, was produced before the Nellore ACB Court. The court ordered judicial custody till November 21. Officials suspect his deep involvement in the adulteration network connected to the Tirumala ghee scam.
