Sunrisers Hyderabad has accused the president of the Hyderabad Cricket Association of blackmailing and forcing its employees at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in the Uppal in Hyderabad. According to a Cricbuzz report, the SRH team owned by Chennai -based Sun Group has also alleged that HCA president Jagan Mohan Rao had closed the corporate box a few hours before his game against Lucknow Super Giants. A meeting with the association has been demanded to resolve the issue of tickets and compliance passes.
Also, Hyderabad franchise management has also told BCCI and IPL Management about the problems faced by HCA president. Also thanked the secretary, CEO and others including other officials of the association for the cooperation.
Recently, a release in Sunrisers Hyderabad, sent to members of HCA Top Council, states that HCA President is Mr. Jagan Mohan Rao who is resorting to threats, pressure and blackmail. Even before the IPL started, Rao threatened our staff under pressure, in response to which the staff emailed him due to fear, in which he recorded the threat given in the record.
At the same time, it has been written in the release that this is in the context of your 29 March 2025 email. First of all, we want to put it on record that we have no complaint against HCA Secretary, CEO, Treasurer or other HCA officials. In fact we want to thank him for his cooperation.
