Images claiming an income tax raid at the home of Tirupati Balaji Temple priest Shekhar Reddy are going viral.

The posts allege that 128 kg of gold, ₹150 crore in cash, and diamonds worth ₹77 crore were found.

However, these claims are false, and the images are unrelated.

Fact-checkers found that the first image, showing gold and jewelry, is from a robbery case in Vellore, Tamil Nadu. Police recovered the stolen items after a theft at a Joy Alukkas showroom.

The second and third images, showing cash and gold bars, are from a 2021 raid at perfume trader Piyush Jain's house in Kanpur. Officials seized ₹250 crore in cash, 25 kg of gold, and 250 kg of silver hidden underground.

Shekhar Reddy, a former Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) board member, was previously involved in an income tax raid in 2016. However, a court cleared him in 2020 due to a lack of evidence.

These viral posts mix unrelated events and spread misinformation. Officials have confirmed that the images are not connected to Tirupati Balaji Temple or its priests.
