Justice (Retd) L. Nageswara Rao, former Supreme Court Judge who has been appointed by the Supreme Court to resolve the impasse in Hyderabad Cricket Association, highlighted the alleged irregularities and corruption in the association in a report submitted by him to the Supreme Court.

In his report, Justice Rao (former Supreme Court Judge), who ensured that the HCA elections were held as per the rules and regulations on October 20, highlighted many irregularities in the functioning of the HCA like that of a travel agent charging higher prices in 81 sample instances, multiple bookings done for the same person in different cities, including ticket costs for the former vice-president’s wife, unexplained expenses for the former vice-president’s trip to the USA.

“One travel agency issued invoices totalling ₹ 14.68 lakh for accommodation for under-19, Ranji and under-19 women’s matches but was charged ₹4.23 lakh for accommodation in Kochi during a period when no matches were scheduled,” the report said.
