In a major development in the ongoing liquor scam investigation, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) conducted searches at the homes and offices of Y S Anil Reddy, cousin of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, over Friday and Saturday. The raids are part of a wider probe into alleged irregularities in the state’s liquor trade.
The SIT is examining financial records and business operations linked to Anil Reddy, aiming to uncover any misuse of power or illicit activities. His connection to the chief minister has drawn significant attention, with opposition parties demanding transparency and accountability from the government.
Reactions to the raids have been mixed. Some locals and analysts see the SIT’s actions as necessary to uphold justice, while others claim the operations may be politically motivated. YSR Congress representatives defended Anil Reddy, suggesting the raids are timed to influence public opinion ahead of elections.
While the SIT has not revealed specific findings, officials confirmed that the investigation remains active. The outcome of this case could affect not only those involved but also the broader political climate in Andhra Pradesh, as discussions around corruption and governance continue.
