TTD Files Police Complaint Against Influencer and Actress Over Tirumala Cake-Cutting

Overview

• The TTD vigilance wing filed a police complaint on Friday after a birthday cake was cut at a Tirumala guesthouse and the video was shared online, which the temple body says violates its rules.
• Police have opened an investigation into influencer Divvela Madhuri and actress Thanuja Puttaswamy, according to a TTD official.
• TTD officials said the visitors, including YSRCP MLC Duvvada Srinivas, stayed in suites allotted under the discretionary quota.
• The trust says cakes and celebratory events are not permitted on the hill, and it is reviewing whether to restrict the trio’s future discretionary darshan privileges.
• TTD also ordered an internal inquiry into possible entry-screening lapses, and noted Madhuri was booked in 2024 over a prior Tirumala rules dispute.
