The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) on Tuesday denied any connection to the human hair seized from the Assam rifles on the Mizoram-Myanmar border.
A strong exception to the reports was made in part of the media that 120 bags of human hair seized by the military belonged to the TTD.
All human hair collected in the temple is sold quarterly on the e-auction platform to the eligible bidders after the mandatory GST has been deducted. This is a routine process. As soon as the auction process is completed, the TTD no longer has a role in the stocks sold. There are many temples in the country that sell human hair, the TTD clarified.
