Former cricketer and Congress leader Mohammad Azharuddin has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) over allegations of misappropriating Rs 20 crore during his tenure as the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) president. The charges stem from criminal cases lodged by the Hyderabad Police in 2023, citing fund mismanagement for stadium infrastructure. A forensic audit revealed the diversion of funds between 2020-2023. Azharuddin denied the accusations, calling them politically motivated. Earlier, he was granted anticipatory bail, and ED searches uncovered documents and unaccounted cash in connection with the case.
