Ghee Adulteration Case: Court Grants SIT Custody of Accused Traders
TIRUPATI, Dec. 8, 2025 – In a significant development in the Tirumala ghee adulteration case, an ACB court in Nellore has granted the Special Investigation Team (SIT) four days of custodial interrogation for two key accused. The SIT, which is monitored by the Supreme Court, will take Delhi-based trader Ajaya Kumar Sugandh (A-16) and RSSV Subrahmanyam (A-29) into custody from December 9th to December 12th.
The SIT requested five days, but the court reduced the period to four. During the hearing, Assistant Public Prosecutor Jaya Sekhar argued for the necessity of custodial interrogation, citing legal precedent and highlighting the duo’s alleged involvement in a conspiracy with private dairies to supply adulterated ghee.
The SIT will conduct its questioning at its camp office in Tirupati.
Meanwhile, the court also rejected a bail petition filed by Ajaya Kumar Sugandh, who remains in judicial remand. The investigation into the ghee adulteration case continues to unfold, with the SIT expected to delve deeper into the alleged collusion between traders and private dairies.
