Annamayya police arrested Balaji and his son Sudarshan for supplying rectified spirit to the key accused in the Mulakalacheruvu fake liquor case, tightening the probe into the illegal network.
Tirupati: Annamayya district police on Sunday arrested two persons in connection with the Mulakalacheruvu fake liquor case. The accused, identified as Balaji (A15) and his son Sudarshan (A20), were apprehended in Bengaluru and produced before the Thamballapalle court. Following the court’s orders, they were remanded to the Madanapalle sub-jail.
According to police sources, the duo had supplied rectified spirit to the main accused, Addepalli Janardhan Rao (A1), which was used in the manufacture of counterfeit liquor. They were also involved in supporting the network’s operations by arranging transportation and supplying raw materials for bottling and distribution.
Several persons have already been arrested and questioned in connection with the case, which exposed a wide network of fake liquor manufacturing and distribution across multiple districts.
Police officials said that the arrest of Balaji and Sudarshan marks a significant breakthrough in tracing the supply chain and understanding the operational network behind the racket.
