FORMER Indian cricket captain and Congress politician Mohammad Azharuddin on T h u r s d a y failed to d e p o s e before the ED in a m o n e y laundering case linked to alleged financial irregularities in the Hyderabad Cricket Association, official sources said on Thursday. The 61-year-old former Member of Parliament was asked to depose before the federal agency at its office here on October 3 and get his statement recorded under the PMLA, the sources said. However, the former cricketer sought more time from the agency.

 

He has been issued fresh summons for October 8, they said. The probe is related to alleged financial irregularities in the HCA in which the ED had conducted searches in November last year. It had then raided the premises of former office bearers of the HCA, including former HCA vice president and cricketer Shivlal Yadav, Congress MLA and ex HCA president Gaddam Vinod, former HCA secretary Arshad Ayub apart from the office of S S Consultants Pvt. Ltd. and the residence of its MD, Satyanarayana.
