AP CID Raids: Action Taken Against Fake Liquor Distribution
One of the principal complaints against the Jagan government was the widespread distribution of fake liquor and fabricated beverages. Numerous allegations were raised against the liquor policy and its cash-only enforcement.
With the YSR Congress now ousted from power, the Andhra Pradesh CID has begun investigating the previous liquor policy. CID officials have initiated raids on AP Beverages Department MD Vasudeva Reddy’s residence in Nanakramguda, Hyderabad.
Vasudeva Reddy is accused of operating the contaminated liquor scheme during Jagan’s tenure as Chief Minister. TDP and Janasena have long alleged that Vasudeva Reddy worked directly for Jagan, amassing crores of rupees from the liquor business.
Authorities are questioning Reddy about the marketing strategies for liquor brands, the emergence of new companies, and the sale of fake liquor products. Ironically, the same investigative team that pursued the skill scam case against Chandrababu Naidu is now delving into the fake liquor case, which reportedly involves many YCP leaders.
