Hurting The Sentiments of Devotees with Prank Videos is A Despicable Act - TTD




Terming it as a heinous act, TTD has strongly condemned the prank video taken by some Tamil YouTubers which hurt the sentiments of the devotees while going for darshan in the queue line at Tirumala.


Going into the details, some YouTubers made a prank video acting like a TTD  employee as if unlocking a compartment and releasing pilgrims for darshan. The devotees who are waiting in the compartments got up expecting that their compartment is released. 

Ironically the prankster ran away from the compartment laughing mischievously and even released the video on social media which has gone viral, especially in Tamilnadu.

Usually, the mobiles of devotees are being deposited in the Vaikuntham queue complex after moving from the Narayangiri sheds. The miscreants made this video playing with the sentiments of devotees while they were in NG sheds

TTD has warned that legal action will be taken against such mischief players.
