The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrests another accused in the Tirumala ghee adulteration case, according to multiple reports. The agency identifies the person as Kailash Chand Mangla and alleges he is involved in manufacturing and supplying adulterated ghee meant for the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).
The ED says the accused allegedly manufactured adulterated ghee worth about ₹96 crore and coordinated its supply to the TTD through front entities. Separately, the ED reports the wider alleged fraudulent supply of ghee to the TTD covers the period from 2019 to 2024 and is valued at approximately ₹230 crore. Other outlets describe the arrest as related to a promoter or supplier role tied to the alleged adulteration.
Across the reports, the shared focus is the ED’s investigation and the arrest in connection with alleged adulterated ghee supplied to TTD. Differences mainly relate to which individual is named in each arrest and the figures highlighted—one source foregrounds the ₹96 crore allegation for the newly arrested person, while another emphasizes the overall alleged value of the supply during 2019–2024.
