Problems for the already under trouble Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) officials seem to be intensifying as the opposition in the association has decided to lodge a complaint with the state police against the HCA. Since the officials were not bulging despite the latest developments the opposition camp think of it as another way of building pressure.

Former EC member T Shesh Narayan approached the Inspector of Police, Uppal Police Station and registered a complaint against HCA office-bearers and EC members. The officials named in the complaint are: Arshad Ayub, K John Manoj, R Devraj, Purshottam Agarwal, Adnan Mahmood, P Yadagiri and Surya J Prakash.

As per the Indian Express, the complaint states that, “the above members have cheated, created documents and accounts and misappropriated public funds belonging to the BCCIHCA worth crores of rupees.”

It also mentions that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) appointed audit firm Deloitte to investigate “mismanagement, cheating, creation of document, fudging of accounts and misappropriation of accounts” in the HCA accounts.

Deloitte had also filed a report on other state associations and it is reported to have unearthed grave financial frauds and wrong doings which if presented ahead of the Lodha Committee and the Supreme Court could lead to a new investigation being ordered.

India Today quoted a BCCI official as saying, “If they get these and place them before the Supreme Court there is every likelihood of a new investigation being launched into the affairs of the BCCI and the state associations. The Deloitte report/s on the functioning of some associations are just damning,”

Meanwhile, the HCA is also scheduled to go under election and former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin is in line to contest for the president’s position. “Yes, I will be contesting the president’s post. It was going through my mind for quite some time now. And I have decided to contest. Ladenge toh president ke liye he ladenge, dekho aage sab kaisa jaata hai,” Azhar had said.
