TCA (Tripura Cricket Association) Vice President Timir Chanda, Secretary Tapash Kumar Ghosh and Treasurer Joydal Das have submitted appeals in the high court for interim bail claiming charges of corruption against them are completely false and fabricated. The trio earlier announced removal of Tapan Lodh as President of TCA citing a resolution of the general body meeting.
However Mr Lodh rejected his disqualification and presented another resolution signed by 26 of 33 Members of the TCA that declared the announcements of the other faction void. He and his loyalists forced their way into the office under police protection.
In another turn of events, the faction which is backing the TCA President prevented Vice President Timir Chanda, Secretary Tapash Kumar Ghosh and Treasurer Joydal Das from entering the office and they were allegedly heckled outside the office located opposite to West Agartala Police Station.
