Tirupati, July 8 (PTI) The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) on Tuesday suspended it’s Assistant Executive Officer (AEO) A Rajasekhar Babu for allegedly attending church every Sunday in his hometown Puttur in the district.
TTD, the official custodian of Lord Venkateshwara Swamy temple in Tirupati observed that Babu’s suspension follows complaints against deviation from institutional norms related to religious conduct.
“It has come to the notice of TTD that Sri Rajasekhar Babu attends local church prayers every Sunday in his hometown Puttur in Tirupati district,” said the temple body in an official press release.
