The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged Rs 3,500 crore Andhra Pradesh liquor scam seized Rs 11 crore in cash from a farmhouse near Hyderabad on Wednesday.

Varun Purushotham, listed as an accused person in the scam case, reportedly ‘confessed’ to his role and revealed crucial information, leading to raids and unearthing hidden cash stashes.

The seized money was found in 12 boxes disguised as office files, reportedly hidden on the instructions of Raj Kesireddy and Chanakya, with the assistance of Vinay and Varun Purushotham.

Raids at the homes and offices of the accused led to the discovery of unaccounted cash and other crucial evidence.

Acting on Purushotham’s information, the SIT conducted raids and seized Rs 11 crore in cash from a farmhouse on the outskirts of Hyderabad, news agency PTI reported.

It has been learnt that the scam runs into thousands of crores and involves a web of shell companies, kickbacks, and political protection.

More arrests and seizures are expected in connection to the case, with the team closely tracking financial transactions and political links uncovered during the recent round of raids.

According to police, an alleged liquor scam occurred during the previous YSRCP government between 2018 and 2024.
