Former TTD Chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy Faces Police Action, Alleges Political Vendetta

TIRUPATI, Andhra Pradesh – October 23, 2025 – Former Chairman of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), Bhumana Karunakar Reddy, found himself at the S.V. University Campus Police Station in Tirupati on Thursday after receiving notices under Section 35 (3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The action stems from a complaint filed by current TTD Trust Board member G. Bhanuprakash Reddy.

The police complaint accuses Mr. Karunakar Reddy of violating Sections 353 and 299 of the BNS, specifically relating to allegedly “circulating statements to cause public mischief” and “maliciously outraging religious feelings.”

In response, Mr. Karunakar Reddy held a press conference at the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) district office in Padmavathipuram, vehemently denying the allegations. He asserted that the charges are a politically motivated attempt by the current coalition government to silence him.

“This is revenge,” Mr. Karunakar Reddy stated, “for revealing the deaths of more than 100 cows at the TTD Goshala.”

He also leveled accusations against current TTD Chairman B.R. Naidu, alleging financial impropriety. Karunakar Reddy presented a document purported to be a “confidential letter” requesting the release of funds for ongoing TTD projects. He questioned the Chairman’s authority to directly solicit funds for contractors.

Furthermore, Mr. Karunakar Reddy addressed concerns about his connections to TTD employees. “I am close to around 4,700 employees of TTD,” he declared. “If Mr. Naidu wants to suspend the staff supporting us, he must remove all the permanent workers.”

The situation remains tense, highlighting potential friction between the former and current TTD leadership and raising questions about transparency and accountability within the religious institution. The police investigation is ongoing.
