Mohammad Azharuddin, the former Indian cricketer-turned-politician, has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on October 3 (Thursday) in connection with a money laundering case with relation to financial irregularities of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA).
Azharuddin, a Congress leader who previously held the position of president at the HCA, is accused of misappropriating funds during his tenure, which he served from 2019 to 2023. This is the first summon issued to the Congress leader, requiring him to appear before the investigative agency on Thursday.
The case involving Azharuddin in the money laundering investigation concerns the alleged misappropriation of ₹20 crore, which was intended for the procurement of diesel generators, firefighting systems and canopies for the Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium in Uppal, Hyderabad.
Notably, the HCA holds the reputation of being one of the most corrupt cricket boards in India.
