The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets worth Rs 129.85 crore in connection with the alleged ghee adulteration at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) and the related money laundering case.
According to the ED investigation, between 2019 and 2024, adulterated ghee worth about Rs 234.5 crore was allegedly supplied to the TTD.
The ED investigation also revealed that the accused used front companies, fictitious purchase and sales entries, and forged invoices to conceal the actual manufacturing process and make the transactions appear legitimate. The attached assets belong to Bhole Baba Organic Dairymilk Pvt Ltd, Sri Vyshnavi Dairy Specialities Pvt Ltd, their promoters Vipin Jain and Pomil Jain, their family members, and Sukriti Foods Pvt Ltd, its promoter Kailash Chand Mangla, his family members, and other related entities and individuals. The ED has arrested Vipin Jain, associated with Bhole Baba Organic Dairymilk, and Kailash Chand Mangla, promoter of Sukriti Foods, in connection with the alleged money laundering network. The ED has also filed chargesheets in its money laundering investigation.
Between 2019 and 2024, adulterated ghee worth about Rs 234.5 crore was allegedly supplied to TTD directly and through intermediary dairy firms, according to the ED investigation. Mangla was arrested on September 17, 2026, and remanded to judicial custody by a special PMLA court in Visakhapatnam. Separately, the CBI-led Special Investigation Team (SIT) filed its final chargesheet in January 2026, naming 36 accused in the wider ghee adulteration case.
