Kerala High Court Orders Probe into Sabarimala Ghee Procurement from Milma
The Kerala High Court has directed the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau to form a Special Investigation Team to probe alleged conspiracy in procuring ghee from Milma for the 2025-26 Sabarimala pilgrimage. The Travancore Devaswom Board had approved purchasing 1,65,000 litres of ghee from Milma, bypassing e-tendering. Milma chairman K.S. Mani denied any lapses, stating the ghee was quality-checked and sealed before delivery. He welcomed the probe, noting any post-delivery tampering would be a serious offense.
