Hyderabad: Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Chairman B.R. Naidu on Saturday urged devotees not to fall prey to middlemen in matters concerning Srivari Darshan, Arjitha Sevas, and accommodation services at Tirumala.
Speaking on recent incidents, Naidu said several impostors posing as senior TTD officials or influential figures have been caught deceiving devotees. These individuals reportedly promised Break Darshan slots, special sevas, and exclusive accommodation in exchange for large sums of money.
He confirmed that TTD has identified many such brokers and initiated legal proceedings against them. He appealed to devotees to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
