Hawala Angle in the TTD Laddu Case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has initiated an investigation into the alleged hawala angle in the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) laddu case. According to preliminary findings, large sums of money were allegedly diverted through hawala channels. The ED suspects that the funds were routed via companies linked to the accused, including Pomili Jain, Vipul Jain, and Bole Baba Organic firms.

Investigators believe that the hawala money was transferred from Delhi to multiple cities, including Hyderabad, Tirupati, Chennai, and Vijayawada. Initial estimates suggest that more than ₹234.5 crore may have been diverted through these illegal transactions. The ED has begun a detailed probe to trace the money trail and identify the full extent of financial irregularities connected to the TTD laddu procurement and supply process.
