Notable work
The major achievement of this channel is having exposed the Governor of Andhra Pradesh ND Tiwari sex scandal, leading to his resignation.[1][2]
Controversies
S. Janardhan, an advocate from Hyderabad, filed a petition in Ranga Reddy court seeking action against the misuse of funds by V. Radha Krishna, which were collected for the maintenance of Warangal-based conjoined twins Veena and Vani.[3][4][5]
The petitioner said that Jyothyi had been collecting funds from citizens which they promised will be used for their maintenance. While the Telangana government came forward for their surgery, Andhra Jyothyi took up their maintenance.[clarification needed] By June 2015, nearly Rs 25 lakh had been collected for the twins.[3][4][5]
"But not even a single rupee was spent on the children and the money was diverted for the personal use of Radhakrishna," said Janardhan in his complaint. The court directed the Saroornagar police to register a case under Section 406, 420, 403 and 120(b) and submit a detailed report on the incident by 16 November.[3][4][5]
