Former cricketer
and Telangana Congress leader Mohammed Azharuddin is in trouble as at least four
cases have been filed against him, just weeks before the Telangana Assembly
election.
Hyderabad Cricket
Association or HCA CEO has blamed Azharuddin of misappropriation of funds
during his presidentship of the body.
The Rachakonda
Police have registered four cases against office bearers and previous members
of the HCA, including Azharuddin, as he is set to file nominations for the Assembly
elections.
He has approached
the Malkajgiri Court seeking bail in all the four cases registered against him.
Reacting to the
allegations last month when the complaint was filed against him, Azharuddin
called it a “stunt pulled by my rivals to ruin my reputation”.
“I have seen news
reports that have reported that FIR’s have been registered against me on
complaints by CEO, HCA. I want to state that these are all false &
motivated allegations & I am in no way connected with the allegations. I
will reply to the motivated allegations against me at an appropriate time. This
is just a stunt pulled by my rivals to ruin my reputation. We shall stay strong
and fight harderm,” he wrote on X.
