Tirumala: Andhra Pradesh government has ordered a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the Parakamani (coins and currency notes counting centre) scam.

The scam relates to siphoning of crores from Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy temple during the previous YSRCP regime, said Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh.

The case traces back to 2023, when accused CV Ravi Kumar smuggled out currency by hiding it in his undergarments on April 29, 2023. Though caught with $11,300 (about ₹9 lakh), the FIR recorded recovery of just $900. TTD officials later found that the accused amassed properties worth ₹100 crore by stealing foreign currency wads multiple times earlier.
