black marketing

racket on Saturday.

In a press release, the TTD trust board member clarified that he had never appointed a personal public relations officer in the very first place. It was brought to my notice that fake news against me was being circulated in the social media platforms and I strongly condemn all such reports.

After reports of a person identified as Jagadeeshan was projecting himself as a public relations officer and allegedly misusing the identity of the TTD trust board member surfaced, it is learnt that the TTD's vigilance and security wing have taken the alleged tout into custody and have ordered an enquiry.

Amidst all these developments, K Siva Kumar appealed to the devotees not to fall prey to any touts attempting to black market VIP break darshan

or arjitha sevas but to approach the TTD with donations to Srivani trust if they wished to have darshan at the Tirumala temple during the VIP break darshan slot daily.
