\"Tirupati<\/div>\n
The CBI<\/a> on Monday arrested four people in connection to the Tirupati Laddu<\/a> case.The arrested persons include individuals from organisations supplying ghee, including AR Dairy<\/a> (Tamil Nadu), Parag Dairy (Uttar Pradesh), Premier Agri Foods, and Alpha Milk Foods.<\/p>\n

The action was taken as the investigation revealed serious violations during ghee supply, with irregularities at every step.<\/p>\n

Representatives of Vaishnavi Dairy secured tenders in the name of AR Dairy for ghee supply. Vaishnavi Dairy fabricated false documents and seals, using the AR Dairy name to manipulate the tender process. Fake records were created by Vaishnavi Dairy, claiming to have sourced ghee from Bhole Baba Dairy in Roorkee. <\/p>\n

The row arose when in July, lab tests revealed foreign fats in the ghee supplied by AR Dairy Foods. This led to the contractor being blacklisted by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams<\/a> (TTD), which then switched to sourcing ghee from the Karnataka Milk Federation.
On September 19, lab reports released by the Andhra Pradesh government under the TDP revealed the presence of foreign fats in the ghee supplied during the YSRC regime. The report identified fats such as lard (pig fat), tallow (beef fat), and fish oil, in addition to vegetable fats from sources like coconut, linseed, rapeseed, and cottonseed. These tests were conducted on July 23 after complaints were raised about the change in the laddu\u2019s taste.<\/p>\n

The renowned laddu prasadam at the sacred Lord Venkateswara shrine in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, is famous for its unique taste. These iconic laddus are prepared daily in the temple kitchen, known as the Potu. The preparation process, called dittam, strictly dictates the ingredients and their quantities. Over its long history, the recipe has only been altered six times. Originally made using besan (chickpea flour) and jaggery syrup to extend shelf life, almonds, cashews, and raisins were later added to enhance flavor and nutrition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
