  "account": "A devotee who uncovered a fraudulent online ticket scheme for 'Srichakra Archana' tickets during the upcoming Dasara Utsavams at Indrakeeladri temple has led to temple officials lodging a complaint with the NTR Commissionerate police. The woman, who bought a ticket for ₹3,500 for October 18, became suspicious and reported the matter to Executive Officer V. K. Seena Naik. Upon investigation, officials discovered that an old ticket had been sold with the date altered. Naik informed that online tickets for Kunkuma Archana, Darshan, and Chandi Homam for Dasara Navarathri Utsavams had not been released yet. He advised devotees to avoid purchasing tickets from unauthorized sources and urged the police to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the racket and apprehend those responsible.",
