False Propaganda

Spiritual 9:53 AM

The propaganda in some social media that the ED raided the house of one Mubina Nishka Begum, who worked as a public Relations Officer at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam during the previous government's regime in Andhra Pradesh, is completely far from the truth.

TTD never had such a person as Public Relations Officer. The video clip posted on social media is also not related to TTD.

TTD has once again warned that strict action will be taken against those who spread such false news to mislead the devotees and hurt their sentiments.
