Liquor Scam: SIT Begins Raids on Raj Kasireddy
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Andhra Pradesh has intensified its efforts to unravel the intricate details of a significant liquor scam that allegedly transpired during the tenure of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) government. In a decisive move, the SIT initiated a series of raids on Monday, targeting the residences and offices of the prominent figure, Kasireddy Rajasekhar Reddy, commonly referred to as Raj Kasireddy.
Background on the Liquor Scam Investigation
This investigation has gained considerable attention and raised questions about the transparency and integrity of the state’s liquor distribution system which is purported to have been compromised. Allegations suggest that large sums of money were siphoned off through corrupt practices, with influential individuals potentially colluding to manipulate the process. The SIT has been tasked with uncovering the depth of these claims, which could shake the foundations of the current administration.
Details of the Raids
On Monday, investigators executed search warrants at multiple locations associated with Raj Kasireddy, probing for vital evidence that can shed light on the alleged wrongdoing. The operation was marked by a heavy police presence, reflecting the seriousness of the investigation and the high-profile nature of the individuals involved.

Response from Raj Kasireddy
As of the latest updates, Raj Kasireddy has not issued a formal statement regarding the raids. However, insiders close to him have expressed confidence in his innocence, suggesting that the investigations are politically motivated. They argue that such actions are an attempt to tarnish the reputation of key figures within the YSRCP.

Some citizens have expressed support for the SIT’s efforts to investigate corruption, while others have raised concerns about the political implications behind the timing of these raids.
