The infamous Andhra Pradesh liquor scam, estimated at around ₹3,500 crore, appears to be entering its climax. Several arrests have already been made, including MP Avinash Reddy, Raj Kasireddy, and others.
The latest development is that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has begun digging deeper into the case. They have launched simultaneous searches across multiple locations linked to the scam.
According to reports, ED teams conducted raids in Hyderabad, Delhi NCR, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka in connection with alleged money-laundering activities tied to the liquor scam. The agency has also recorded statements from several distilleries believed to be involved and questioned the prime accused, Raj Kasireddy, who is currently in jail.
So far, no top Andhra Pradesh politician has been directly questioned by the ED. However, the large-scale search operations show that the agency is treating the case very seriously. It may not be long before bigger names face the heat.
Earlier investigations by the SIT revealed that over ₹3,500 crore in bribes was siphoned off through benami firms, shell companies, and hawala operators during the YCP government’s tenure. The trail of illegal funds even pointed to properties in Dubai linked to the laundering network.
