The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its probe into alleged financial malpractices in Jharkhand cricket, summoning Jharkhand Cricket Association (JCA) president for questioning over stadium construction irregularities that run into crores of rupees.
Stadium Project Under Scanner
The investigation focuses on the construction of a cricket stadium in Jharkhand where significant financial discrepancies have been uncovered. According to ED sources, the project involves suspected embezzlement and violation of financial norms during the stadium's development phase.
Multiple Allegations Surface
The probe has revealed several concerning aspects:
- Financial irregularities in fund allocation and utilization
- Questionable land allocation processes for stadium construction
- Possible violation of regulatory guidelines and compliance norms
- Suspected mismanagement of association funds
Ongoing Investigation
The ED's action comes as part of a broader investigation into sports administration irregularities in Jharkhand. The financial probe agency has been examining documents and financial records related to the stadium project for several weeks before deciding to summon the JCA president for direct questioning.
This development marks another chapter in the ongoing scrutiny of cricket administration across India, where several state associations have faced similar investigations over alleged financial misconduct and governance issues.
