A shining star in the world of cricket, Muhammad Azharuddin’s name is in the headlines again today. But for some reason, it’s different this time. He has been summoned by the ED in connection with a money laundering case. Let us know what the whole case is and why Azharuddin has come on ED’s radar. Mohammed Azharuddin’s journey from cricket to politics has been very interesting. He was a cricketer who won everyone’s hearts with his game. His batting looked very good. People used to say they had magic in their hands. On the field, he used to send the ball around with the magic of his wrist. After retiring from cricket, he entered politics. He joined the Congress and became an MP. He also served as the president of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA). But now it seems that their difficulties have increased.
Azharuddin has been summoned by the ED in connection with a money laundering case. The case pertains to the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA). The ED says that some money was misused when Azharuddin was the president of the HCA. The ED had asked him to come to its office on Thursday. But Azharuddin has not gone, and he has asked for some time. The ED wants to know whether Azharuddin took part in any wrongdoing or not.
The incident took place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. The stadium is located in Hyderabad. It is being said that the equipment that was purchased for this stadium was faulty. According to the ED, the amount involved in the scam is around Rs 20 crore. With this money, diesel generators, fire extinguishers, and canopies were to be purchased. But ED feels that there was a lot of mess in this work. They also conducted raids at several places and seized some documents and money.
The ED had carried out searches at nine locations in Telangana in November 2023. These included the houses of the former president, vice president, and secretary of the HCA. The ED also carried out searches at the offices of some companies. The ED has seized several important documents during the raids. It was found that many companies were transacting large amounts of cash. This is especially true in the real estate sector.
It seems that some people at HCA did all this together. They gave work to people of their choice without following the tender process properly. Many times the work was given even before the quotation came. Many contractors were given money earlier, but they did not do any work. The ED is currently investigating the case. He wants to know who made what mistake and how such a big scam took place. That’s why he has called Azharuddin. Now it is to be seen what happens next and what is the outcome of this case.
