Overview

• The Andhra Pradesh High Court suspended the Tirupati Lok Adalat settlement, suo motu impleaded the CB-CID inspector general, and ordered seizure of all case and TTD records for submission in a sealed cover before an October 13 hearing.
• Two TTD Trust Board members made public CCTV clips they say show the Parakamani theft, calling the High Court’s move a step toward uncovering what they describe as hidden stakeholders.
• IT Minister Nara Lokesh and TTD/BJP leaders alleged foreign currency worth about ₹100 crore was siphoned from the counting hall and funneled into real estate, accusing senior YSRCP figures; the claims remain unproven.
• Case records note an April 29, 2023 incident in which staffer C. V. Ravi Kumar was seen concealing cash, with reports citing a gap between $11,300 allegedly observed and $900 recorded in the FIR, followed by a Lok Adalat property surrender whose reported value varies widely.
• Former TTD chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy rejected the accusations, saying vigilance under the YSRCP caught the thief and that assets were surrendered, as a TTD vigilance report cited pressure to accept a compromise.
