Hyderabad cricket chief Jagan Mohan Rao was arrested by the CID over the IPL ticket scam

Hyderabad cricket fans woke up to shocking news this week. Mr. A. Jagan Mohan Rao was arrested by the CID. He is the President of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA). He and other key officials were arrested by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) in Telangana. The charges in the case of purported forgery, cheating, misappropriation of funds, and criminal breach of trust.

The complaint that triggered all this storm was filed by Sri Dharam Guruva Reddy, General Secretary of Telangana Cricket Association (TCA). After almost weeks of investigations, the CID claims to have gathered solid evidence, pointing towards one of the biggest corruption scandals in Hyderabad cricket in recent years.

At Winexchange, we believe cricket is not a sport but an emotion, and fans deserve an accountable game, be it on the field or behind the scenes. We, therefore, bring you real-time updates on every big story, keeping you abreast with real-time updates on your live cricket match prediction.

How This Whole Affair Started

Jagan Mohan Rao was arrested by the CID this morning in Hyderabad, and the roots of this scandal supposedly reach back to the manipulation of club documents. As per the official press release from CID, it is alleged that A Jagan Mohan Rao, C Rajender Yadav, and his wife G Kavtiha created fake documents on the Sri Chakra Cricket Club. This club is also sometimes known as the Gowlipura Cricket Club, which is a local cricket entity that enjoys voting rights in the association. 

The investigators reported that they forged the signature of the actual president of the Gowlipura Cricket Club, Sri C Krishna Yadav. Such documents were presented to cover up Jagan Mohan Rao’s ascendancy to the top post of the Hyderabad Cricket Association. This had the effect of giving the accused a backdoor entry to control the association’s funds and power. 

This was by no means a mere signing of someone’s name without his permission; it was a full-planned purpose to undermine the voting system, seize power, and siphon public money from the development of cricket in Hyderabad. 

SRH Also Being Dragged Into The Drama

Aided and abetted by forgery, the scandal has spilled onto the national Indian Premier League (IPL) stage. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) franchise, itself having an unknown number of loyal supporters, became the unwilling external victim in this corruption saga.

Telangana CID reported that Jagan Mohan Rao and other HCA officials, namely, Treasurer CJ Srinivas Rao and CEO Sunil Kante, allegedly blackmailed officials of SRH during the 2025 season of IPL to demand free tickets in huge numbers and access to corporate boxes. The SRH found it difficult to concede to their demands; that’s when they were met with threats of dire consequences. 

For all fans who do live cricket match prediction or follow each SRH game religiously on Winexch, the news hits rather hard, painting an ugly picture of alleged abuse of power used to extort favors from one of India’s most popularly followed IPL franchises. 

Mohammad Azharuddin Speaks Out

One of the sturdiest reactions was ex-India captain Mohammad Azharuddin’s. Azharuddin, who has himself been a past president of the HCA, was scathing in his recommendations for immediate disbandment of the current HCA body, which, he argued, was unfit to serve the interests of Hyderabad cricket.

“Deeply disturbed by the ongoing IPL ticket scam and rampant corruption within HCA. The current HCA has failed its duty and must be held accountable. I call for immediate action, a complete investigation, and the disbandment of the current HCA administration. Systematic cleansing of HCA is the need of the hour, to restore the integrity of Hyderabad cricket.” Such a strong statement from his side via X (previously Twitter).

Many of his sentiments were echoed by former players, local club members, and various cricket enthusiasts. They believe cricketers in Hyderabad have suffered long enough, and action for cleaning is overdue. 

What This Means for Fans and Players

Jagan Mohan Rao was arrested by the CID this morning, and some may think these scandals affect only the administrators, but in reality, they cascade through every level of the game. Funds that should have gone to the development of grounds, training age group players, hosting tournaments, and supporting local talent have allegedly been siphoned off for personal gain.

It is probably the most disturbing thing for the fans who invest their time, money, and passion into each match. It also casts doubt over the integrity of the day-to-day operations in terms of ticketing and entry for real fans.

An arrest is just a stepping stone to greater things. The Telangana CID continues its investigation, and with time and evidence, other names may crop up as involved.

Hyderabad cricket can now change for the better. Calls for new elections, unbiased supervision, and new leadership to restore credibility grow louder. There is hope that the grassroots clubs and young cricketers will finally receive the fair treatment they have always deserved.
