In November last year, the ED carried out searches at the residences of Vinod, Shivlal Yadav, and Arshad Ayub.
The searches were conducted at nine locations across the state under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The ED’s investigation was based on three FIRs registered by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Hyderabad, relating to criminal misappropriation of the funds of the HCA to the tune of Rs. 20 crore.

The ACB had registered FIRs for alleged irregularities in the procurement of DG sets, firefighting systems, and canopies for the Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium construction. There were also allegations that despite deadlines, several works were delayed inordinately, leading to escalating costs and budget enhancements and corresponding losses to the HCA.
In October last year, four criminal cases were registered against Azharuddin and others for alleged misappropriation of funds to the tune of Rs. 3.85 crore. The cases were booked at Uppal Police Station under Rachakonda Police Commissionerate. The funds meant for the purchase of cricket balls, gym equipment, fire safety equipment, and chairs at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, were allegedly misappropriated, it was alleged.
Azharuddin and others were charged with criminal breach of trust, cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy. (Maxim News)
