Tirumala: TTD CVSO warns of strict action against cheaters offering fake darshan tickets

Tirumala, June 20 (UNI) Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Chief Vigilance and Security Officer (CVSO) K.V. Muralikrishna on Friday warned that stringent action will be taken against anyone cheating devotees by offering fake darshan tickets for Sri Venkateswara Swamy.
In a statement, Muralikrishna stated that in March this year, a case was registered at Tirumala Town Police Station based on the complaint of Kumari D. Sangamitra, a medical student from Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada.
In her complaint, the medical student said she was allegedly cheated by Maddela Deepu Babu alias Sandeep and Pawan Kumar, who collected Rs.2.60 lakh from her promising Suprabhata Seva, Protocol Darshan, and accommodation tickets, he said.
He further said that complaints are being received regarding certain agents collecting large sums of money from devotees claiming to book darshan tickets.
Special surveillance teams have been deployed to monitor such agents.
The CVSO appealed to devotees not to fall prey to such agents for darshan and accommodation services.
Vigilance staff will check the tickets of devotees during darshan. If any ticket is found to be fake, the devotee may face unnecessary problems. Hence, devotees are requested to be cautious.
The CVSO clarified that no one should believe any person or agent who promises darshan or accommodation tickets using misleading or fraudulent methods. If anyone receives calls from such people asking for money, they should immediately report the matter to the TTD Vigilance department.
The Vigilance officials are available 24/7, and devotees can dial 0877-2263828 to clear any doubts or report of suspicious activity.
The devotees are urged to book tickets only through the official TTD website – https://ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in – using their Aadhaar number
