SVBC- Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel chairman Prudhvi Raj Balireddy on Sunday resigned to his post after an audio clip of his alleged vulgar telephonic tape went viral on the social media, following the sting operation by a news channel.

The audio, which surfaced earlier this week, allegedly shows Prudhvi Raj, allegedly s*xually harassing a female employee over the phone. TTD has ordered a probe by its vigilance wing into the purported telephonic conversation of the Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel chairman Prudhvi Raj. TTD Chairman YV Subba Reddy ordered the probe after the audiotape, leaked by some channel employees, triggered a huge row and left TTD authorities red-faced.

In the audiotape, a voice purportedly belonging to Prudhvi Raj is heard s*xually harassing a woman employee. It is unclear if the woman has filed a complaint or how the audio leaked. The audio’s authenticity is still unverified, this is a storm that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government was least expecting.

Prudhvi Raj told the woman employee, “I love you. I wanted to hug you but, I hesitated as you may raise an alarm. I want to have a drink at your company.”

Meanwhile, Prudhvi Raj told the TTD Chairman that a conspiracy has been hatched against him by a particular community and also claimed his innocence in this entire episode. According to him, a fake voice was created to defame and malign his image.

Prudhvi Raj said there was not even a single complaint against him from any of the 270 SVBC employees since he took charge as chairman.

Prudhvi Raj was appointed channel head after YSRCP came to power in May last year.

On the other side, the allegations against Prudhvi Raj’s corruption are in full swing. Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel employees are alleging that Prudhvi Raj used to drink alcohol in the Padmavathi guest house in the temple premises.
