Tirupati temple TV channel fires employee for mailing porn link

Tirupati, Nov 11 : The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams’ (TTD) TV arm Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel, which telecasts spiritual programmes, has dismissed an employee for mailing a porn link to a devotee, an official said on Wednesday.
“The SVBC management has terminated one of its employees on Wednesday, after his alleged involvement in forwarding a porn site link to a devotee has been proved,” a TTD official told IANS.
Venkata Krishna, a devotee from Hyderabad, sought some information on SVBC programme “Satamanam Bhavati” from the TV employee, but instead, received a lewd link.
“He (devotee) received a porn site link as a reply from the said employee through sb@svbcttd.org,” he said.
Disturbed by the development, Krishna took up the matter with TTD Chairman Y.V. Subba Reddy and executive officer Jawahar Reddy for immediate action.
On receiving the complaint, both ordered a detailed enquiry into the matter.
