Similar operations were carried out at Pearl Distillery in Old Singarayakonda mandal, Prakasam district, and at the Centani Biotech liquor bottling unit in Kanchikacherla mandal, NTR district.
An extensive search was led by CID Additional SP Hussain Peera at SPY Agro Industries in Nandyal. Over 30 CID officials participated in the inspection, scrutinising production records and verifying compliance with regulatory norms in response to allegations of malpractice.
In Kadapa, CID officials from Tirupati raided Eagle Distillery, focusing on alcohol production records from the past year. Meanwhile, a similar operation is underway at a distillery in Kuppam, located in Chittoor district.
