Tirupati laddus row: Tobacco found in prasadam, claims devotee; video goes viral

A significant controversy has erupted at the famous Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati, where a female devotee has alleged that she found tobacco wrapped in paper inside a laddu given as prasadam. This claim follows earlier allegations regarding the use of animal fat in the preparation of the temple’s iconic laddus. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), which manages the temple, has denied the woman’s allegations.
