Overview

  • The CBI arrested HCA President A. Jagan Mohan Rao and four office bearers earlier this month on charges of forging documents and diverting funds.
  • The TCA has formally appealed to the BCCI, Supreme Court, CID and ED to investigate alleged misappropriation of Rs 500–600 crore from 2019 to 2022 and alleged political influence by state leaders K. T. Rama Rao and K. Kavitha.
  • The Enforcement Directorate has named the detained officials in its Enforcement Case Information Report and plans to seek their custody for further questioning on financial irregularities.
  • TCA officials warned that the HCA Apex Council is effectively illegitimate due to key arrests and conflict-of-interest cases, paralyzing the association’s governance.
  • The CBI probe includes allegations that HCA leaders intimidated Sunrisers Hyderabad for complimentary IPL tickets and corporate-box access during the 2024–25 season.
