Khammam: A devotee from Gollagudem, Khammam district, Donthu Padmavathi, has levelled an allegation that she found a piece of a gutka packet and traces of tobacco in a laddu prasadam that she had brought from Tirumala.

Padmavathi, a resident of Karteekeya Township in Khammam Rural mandal, said she had visited Tirumala on September 19 for darshan of Lord Venkateshwara Swamy. Upon returning home, she broke the laddu into pieces to distribute among her relatives and neighbours, only to allegedly find the contents inside the prasadam.
