Tirumala Tirupati is renowned for being a top pilgrimage spot flocked by denizens from all over the world. The devotees of Lord Venkateswara are known to go out of their way to maintain the sanctity of the region.
The multitudes who visit Tirumala are aware that thievery is rampant at the holy site, and within the temple, especially. However, the latest relevations regarding the crimes committed in Tirumala may shock the people.
Acting on a tip-off, the Tirumala police raided 6 mobile-phone shops and busted a porn business. 9 people were arrested for downloading porn onto the cell phones of the customers.
It is common knowledge that hard-core non-vegetarians refrain from meat while in Tirumala, as it is consided impure. In fact, the respect that people have for Lord Venkateswara is such that entire film crews are known to shun non-vegetarian food while working on a film based on the Lord.
It is then highly surprising that a few hotels were found to cook chicken atop the 7 hills. This will come as a blow to the section of the society that strictly stays away from meat and considers eating in a non-vegetarian hotel a blasphemy.
The laid-back attitude of the police is being touted as the reason that such activities are taking place in the holy region.
