October 3, 2024: Former Indian cricketer and current politician Mohammad Azharuddin has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering investigation linked to the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA).

The ED alleges that during his tenure as president of the HCA, Azharuddin misappropriated funds, raising significant concerns about financial irregularities within the organization. This marks the first time the Congress leader has been called in for questioning regarding these allegations.

Azharuddin is expected to appear before the ED on Thursday, and further details regarding the case are awaited as the investigation unfolds. The situation has garnered attention, given Azharuddin's prominence in both the cricketing world and Indian politics.

As the inquiry progresses, it remains to be seen how this will impact Azharuddin's political career and his legacy in cricket.
