The defaulters were caught red-handed after the guest staying in the next room of the hotel became suspicious about the presence of banned item and immediately dialed the police.

The consumption of tobacco and alcohol is banned in Tirumala.

The officials immediately rushed to the spot and seized hookah pots.
