Controversies

Butchibabu was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on 8 February 2023 in connection to the Delhi Excise Policy case. The CBI stated that he was responsible for the formulation and implementation of the excise policy. They also accused him of helping wholesale and retail licensees and owners make profits under the 2021-2022 policy. According to the CBI, he was supported by a group, ‘South Cartel,’ consisting of Kavitha of Telangana’s ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi, Magunta Srinivasalu Reddy, an MP from Andhra Pradesh’s ruling YSR Congress, and Sarath Reddy of Aurobindo Pharma. After the investigation, the ED stated that he was told about Vijay Nair, who was related to many powerful politicians and was arrested in the same case. In a statement, ED further talked about him and said,

Sarath brought Buchi Babu on board to guide him with finance and market analysis as Buchi babu was good with numbers. They all met at Kavita’s house on Road Number 14 in Banjara Hills. Arun had told Buchi Babu that Vijay Nair is the point of contact for the Delhi Liquor businesses. In the meeting, Vijay Nair said that the new policy had been drafted in a way that the Govt and businesses would all benefit, Sameer asked Buchi Babu to introduce him to Magunta Group to work for a retail JV. Following this Buchi Babu took Sameer to Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy’s residence cum office at Lodhi Road.” ^[2]The Times of India
