One of the most infamous yet significant financial scams done by the previous YSR Congress government is now being linked to a cash seizure in Hyderabad.
The SIT, Special Investigation Team, which has been working on this case has reportedly seized 12 cardboard boxes containing ₹11 crore cash at a private farmhouse in Shamshabad.
According to SIT officials, the cash was hidden in Sulochana Farm Guest House in Kacharam village, Rangareddy district. The operation was carried out based on a statement given by accused number 40, Varun Purushottam, during his interrogation in the Liquor scam investigation.
During the investigation, Varun reportedly confessed that he concealed the cash in the containers and named them “office files”. This originally happened back in June 2024, and the revelation has happened now after investigation.
It is established that the seized cash is directly linked to the Andhra Pradesh liquor scam.
Varun reportedly confessed that he acted under the instructions of Raj Kasireddy who is the main name in this case and is already arrested.
Officials said this seizure is a major breakthrough in the larger liquor scam, in which they have already detected financial irregularities to the tune of over ₹3,500 crore.
