Azharuddin, who became the HCA president after being elected to the post in 2019, was summoned by the agency for misappropriation of funds worth Rs 20 cr. The report states that cricketer-turned-politician’s role as the HCA president is under the scanner of the ED. The case was taken up by the agency based on three FIRs filed by the Telangana anti-Corruption Bureau.
“He failed to appear before the agency today and (later) sought more time. We have issued a fresh summons and asked him to appear on October 8,” an ED official said.
