In a major development that’s stirred political circles, YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MP Midhun Reddy has been taken into custody in connection with a ₹3,200-crore liquor scam. The case is being investigated by central agencies, and early reports suggest financial irregularities and links to an alleged illegal liquor distribution network.

Midhun Reddy, a prominent face in Andhra Pradesh politics, was reportedly under the scanner for months before his arrest. According to sources, the Enforcement Directorate and other investigating bodies believe he played a key role in facilitating the scam, which allegedly involved manipulation of liquor licenses and diversion of funds through shell companies.

The arrest has sparked political debate, especially with YSRCP leaders calling the move “politically motivated,” while opposition parties claim it reflects the growing need for accountability in high places.

The ₹3,200-crore figure points to a widespread network and deep-rooted nexus between business interests and politics. While investigations are still in their early stages, financial documents and digital evidence have reportedly been seized, and further questioning of involved parties is expected in the coming days.

This incident is yet another reminder of how corruption charges continue to haunt India’s political landscape. While Midhun Reddy will have a chance to defend himself in court, this case will likely have both legal and political consequences for YSRCP ahead of future elections.

For now, the focus is on how the case unfolds—and whether it will lead to stronger regulatory checks in sectors like liquor distribution and state-level licensing.
