AP Liquor Scam: Investigation Intensifies as SIT Targets Key Figures

The Andhra Pradesh liquor scam investigation has gained momentum with the Special Investigation Team (SIT) actively pursuing leads to unearth the full extent of the alleged corruption. The scam, which revolves around illegal liquor trade and political involvement, has already seen several high-profile names being added to the FIR. Among the most notable is Rajampet MP Peddireddy Mithun Reddy, who has been named as Accused No. 4 (A4) in the case. This move has intensified political tensions in the state, with opposition parties demanding transparency and accountability.

On June 17th, SIT officials arrested Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy, a key figure and long-time YSRCP leader, identifying him as Accused No. 38 (A38) in the case. His arrest has sparked a political stir, especially given his influence in the Chittoor region. SIT sources suggest that Bhaskar Reddy played a crucial role in facilitating the illegal liquor distribution network, leveraging political clout for personal and party gains. His connections and financial transactions are now under detailed forensic audit.

Adding another layer to the case, the SIT has also registered a case against his son, Chevireddy Mohit Reddy, who serves as the Chandragiri YCP in-charge. Mohit Reddy has been listed as Accused No. 39 (A39), raising questions about the generational involvement in the alleged scam. The SIT is reportedly on the lookout for three more key suspects believed to be central to the network’s operations. Investigators are combing through mobile data, bank records, and call logs to track down these individuals, as the case continues to expose the deep nexus between politics and illicit liquor trade in Andhra Pradesh
