SIT will investigate

Millions of Hindus were offended by the accusations made by andhra pradesh chief minister N chandrababu naidu, which sparked a national uproar. In an order published late on Thursday, september 26, 2024, Chief Secretary Neerabh Kumar prasad stated, "The andhra pradesh government has found it necessary to constitute a SIT to conduct a detailed and comprehensive investigation into the entire matter, as part of its commitment to protect the sanctity of tirumala tirupati Devasthanam (TTD)."

Leaders of the YSRCP argued that having the claims looked into by a department under the Chief Minister's supervision was insufficient and called for an investigation overseen by the supreme Court. Former Additional Advocate General P sudhakar Reddy has previously stated that a body under Naidu's control should not look into the claims pertaining to Laddu.
