In a major development, the remand note of K. Rajasekhar Reddy, also known as Raj Kasireddy — a close associate of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy — has exposed a massive liquor scam worth ₹3,200 crore.
According to the remand note, Kasireddy played a key role in setting up a network that manipulated liquor sales and distribution in the state. The scam allegedly involved inflating liquor prices, issuing illegal permits, and generating huge profits through backdoor deals.
Authorities claim the racket started during the previous government’s time and that several officials and businessmen were involved. Investigations are ongoing to uncover the full scale of the scam and to identify all those connected to it.
