This Video Does Not Show Gold Recovered During ED Raid on Tirupati PRO Nishka Begum

A video showing a large number of gold jewellery laid out on a table is being shared on social media, where users have linked it to an official working for the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD).

The claim: Those sharing this video have claimed that it shows jewellery found during a recent raid conducted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), at the residence of one Nishka Begum, the former Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the TTD.

  • They also question”how a Muslim lady was appointed PRO of a Prestigious Religious Sanatan Org (sic).”

The Quint also received queries to verify this claim on our WhatsApp tipline.

(Archived versions of more claims can be seen here and here.)

Is it true?: No, the TTD clarified that the video had no connection to their organisation and that they had never employed a person named Nishka Begum.
