The social media was taken by a storm when a website, www.balaji prasadam.com claimed to deliver the sacred laddu prasadam to anywhere in the world on demand. The website which charged Rs.500 for the delivery of two laddus also promised monthly and yearly offers of regular supply besides accepting bulk offers.
In view of the seriousness of the matter, Mr. Reddy directed the vigilance authorities to probe the issue and instructed the IT officials to initiate required steps for blocking such fake websites.
