TIRUPATI : Police have booked Andhra Pradesh MLC Zakia Khanam , her PRO, and another person for allegedly black-marketing tickets for VIP break darshan at Tirumala temple in Tirupati for Rs 65,000, against the original price of Rs 10,500, which includes a Rs 10,000 donation.

Moreover, once a visitor is designated as a VIP, the donation fee is waived, reducing the ticket cost to only Rs 500. MLAs, MLCs, and ministers are entitled to a monthly quota of VIP darshan tickets.
