HCA secretary named in forgery and fund misuse case; Telangana CID launches manhunt as Devraj Ramchander goes missing
HYDERABAD: The Telangana Crime Investigation Department (CID) has named Devraj Ramchander, secretary of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), as accused No. 2 in a case involving forgery and misappropriation of funds. Ramchander is currently absconding, and a search is underway to trace his whereabouts. As part of its preliminary probe, the CID has recorded the statements of 15 witnesses, including D Gurava Reddy, general secretary of the Telangana Cricket Association and complainant in the case, former Andhra Pradesh cabinet minister C Krishna Yadav, two district registrars, two HCA staffers, general secretary of the Telangana Handball Association (THA), a vigilance and enforcement (V&E) official and Justice L Narasimha Reddy, former chief justice of Patna high court and ex-ombudsman and ethics officer of HCA. A breakthrough came on July 2, when the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) confirmed that the signatures on documents related to Sri Chakra Cricket Club (SCCC) were forged. The signatures did not match those of Krishna Yadav, confirming that his signature had been falsified, allegedly by HCA president A Jagan Mohan Rao to gain fraudulent membership in the club and contest HCA elections. Jagan Mohan has since been arrested and sent to judicial remand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Descoperă BMW X5 Legacy Limited Edition.

In his response (dated July 7, 2025), Justice Narasimha Reddy stated unequivocally that the name change was illegal. He emphasised that the club would continue to be known as GCC unless his 2018 order was set aside by a competent court, or a valid resolution was passed by the club's management as per prescribed procedures. The investigation also uncovered serious procedural violations. On June 13, R Tulasi, district registrar of Hyderabad South, admitted to the CID that the registration process for SCCC had procedural lapses. On June 19, Shyamala Pawan Kumar, general secretary of the THA, testified that Jagan Mohan issued forms to handball players on March 4, 2024, in his capacity as THA president, even though he was already serving as HCA president. "By concealing the fact that he was serving as president of the THA, he contested and got elected as HCA president, which is legally untenable," Shyamala said. The CID is now preparing to file a petition before a local court, seeking custody of the five arrested accused, including Jagan Mohan, who are currently in judicial remand.

World Earth Day: Greens call for need to make renewable energy a way of life
Hyderabad: As we celebrate the World Earth Day on Tuesday, environmentalists stressed that there is an immediate need to adopt various sources of renewable energy (especially solar energy), as it is a perfect sustainable way to combat the climate crisis. This year's theme is 'Our Power, Our Planet' and the main aim is to bring attention to the serious issue of the adoption of natural resources. In that regard, many voluntary organisations are planning various awareness campaigns on promoting renewable energy. Environmentalists have highlighted that a rapid transition to renewable energy can have impact on natural resources and local communities. It is crucial to move toward an energy system that takes into account both the low costs and the benefits to nature at every stage. In this context, solar energy and biomass are key resources for safeguarding the climate. Narasimha Reddy, an environmentalist, said, 'As per the recent data released by the Electricity Department, in April this month, around 17,000 megawatt of energy has been consumed; 90 per cent is coming from thermal energy, so we need to change to solar energy in four sectors – residential, commercial, industrial and agriculture. It would be beneficial for the government to introduce various innovative initiatives. Instead of relying heavily on thermal energy, solar panels should be installed wherever feasible. Additionally, the development of electricity through biogas should be actively promoted. Currently, biogas is used in only a few areas, but it should be adopted more widely across all sectors.' Sai Teja, an environmental enthusiast, said, 'In the context of Telangana, solar energy stands out as the most suitable source. The Union Government is already encouraging the adoption of solar power by offering subsidies to the public. It would be highly beneficial if the Telangana Government also implemented similar initiatives. This would not only benefit consumers but also promote wider adoption. Additionally, the State should actively encourage people and conduct widespread publicity campaigns to raise awareness and support for solar energy.' 'Renewable energy is our true power to protect the planet. In Telangana, solar energy stands out as the best source due to abundant sunlight throughout the year. It is clean, sustainable, and ideal for decentralised rural power. Telangana's solar parks and rooftop projects are transforming energy access while reducing carbon emissions. I believe solar power empowers communities, creates green jobs, and safeguards our natural resources. Embracing this energy aligns with Earth Day's theme—our planet's future depends on how wisely we harness our power today for a greener tomorrow,' said Mohammed Abid Ali, an environmental activist.
