Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police has said that the SIT investigation into the Tirupati laddu adulteration case has been temporarily suspended.

A nine-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed to investigate the case.
The investigation was adjourned till October 3.
As per the instructions of Andhra Pradesh DGP Dwaraka Tirumala Rao, the SIT probing the Tirupati Laddu Prasadam adulteration case has temporarily suspended its investigation till October 3. This decision has been taken due to the ongoing hearing in the Supreme Court.
