Uppal CI suspended for interference in Hyderabad Cricket Association scam case

Amid ongoing investigations in the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) scam, Uppal police inspector N Election Reddy has been suspended for allegedly leaking information and interfering with the investigation of the case. However, an official confirmation on the allegations is awaited.

Reddy’s suspension comes days after HCA president Arishnapally Jagan Mohan Rao was arrested by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) on July 9. Rao and other officials were



arrested for 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.
