Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association faces cheating case over land

  • 5 years ago
India News : A cheating and misappropriation case was registered against the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) on Thursday over alleged wrongdoings in allotment of land to the state's sports body, police said. The HPCA said the case was politically motivated.

"The case was registered against the HPCA under sections 406, 420 and 120-B of the IPC (Indian penal Code) for various irregularities.

"We will reach out to the individuals during the course of investigation," Superintendent of Police (Vigilance) Bimal Gupta told IANS.

Earlier in the day, Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh said "Investigation against the HPCA is in advance stage. Regular FIR (first information report) will be registered shortly."

The HPCA objected to the case and said: "It's aimed at garnering cheap publicity to divert the attention of the people against more pressing and important issues of the people of the state."

On July 26, two Indian Administrative Service officers -- Deepak Sanan and R.S. Gupta -- were charge-sheeted by the government for allegedly allowing a change in the land-use of village community land for building a residential complex for players near HPCA's cricket stadium in Dharamsala, some 250 km from here.
