TTD Board Member Calls for Probe into Alleged Temple Scam
A member of the TTD Trust Board is asking for an investigation into the 'Tulabharam scam' that allegedly happened at a temple during a previous government's time.
'Tulabharam' is when people give offerings like money or goods to the temple.
The board member claims that some of the money given during 2019-2024 didn't go to the temple.
He also says that a contract worker was in charge instead of a regular employee, and that money was stolen.
He believes that the officials stole money every day, and is asking the police to look into it.
