Needle scare in prasadam at Tirumala

Nellore: A needle was reportedly found in a prasadam laddu purchased at the Lord Balaji temple in Tirumala by a devotee.

Mr Sasank Reddy of Devagudipalli near Rayachoti, prayed at the temple on Tuesday along with his brother and purchased some laddus.

He said he had noticed the needle in the laddu he had purchased at Tirumala when he was about to eat the prasadam after reaching home.

Taking a serious view of the incident, TTD chairman Y.V. Subba Reddy has ordered the TTD special officer Dharma Reddy to probe into the issue and take action against the negligent staff.
