Hyderabad, July 9 -- The Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) president Jagan Mohan Rao, was arrested by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) on Wednesday, July 9, over serious irregularities, including allegedly pressuring Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for tickets and other governance-related issues within the HCA.

Earlier this year, during IPL 2025, the HCA was embroiled in controversy as the SRH franchise accused it of harassment regarding complimentary tickets for IPL matches. The row escalated to the point where the management threatened to find an alternate venue, prompting the Telangana government to launch a probe.
