Hon Finance Minister,

Dear Finance Minister,

Re: Collapse of administration in DDCA

Please refer my earler two letters along with book full of proof about ugly
shenanigans in DDCA and the massive scam that has been perpetrated there in the
name of construction of Ferozshah Kotla stadium and in the administration of
cricket, during the last 15 years that you have been heading the cricket body.
Despite my marshalling enough proof, and my 200 letters and hundreds of
messages, you have chosen not to respond, and rather, have supported all the
wrongdoing of your colleagues, including certificates of their honesty that you have
given me, as well as, to the police.
But now, the worst fears of the skeptic sports lovers are coming true, what with several
agencies of the government swooping down on DDCA for various issues of corruption
and mismanagement, which have all but shown that DDCA has collapsed, and the cricket
structure has nobody to support it, with various office bearers, past and present, having
squeezed the last penny from DDCA's coffers. What do we see today?
1) Balance Sheet for 2013-14 cannot be properly prepared since it contains all kinds of
fake bills and round tripping of Rs 1.55 crores by S P Bansal and Anil Khanna in cahoots
with Pankaj Bhardwaj, C K Bhardwaj, Pritam Panwar, and Chaurasia. Without the duly
audited Balance Sheet, BCCI will not give DDCA any subvention money.
2) Sanjay Bhardwaj has submitted in Tis Hazari Court (case no. 215 (3)) that the firm has
been dissolved. If it is so, has the said firm sought your approval to continue to audit
DDCA's accounts? In what capacity are they continuing to conduct an audit of DDCA's
sham accounts, and how is the said firm being allowed to represent DDCA in Lok
Adalat/CLB matters?
3) The police has already registered an FIR in the overage case, involving several boys
who have forged lower age documents and are thereby playing for Delhi in lower age

groups. Please recall our association's several complaints and the complaint of Bishan
paaji about the overaged Delhi under 14 captain, Manjot Singh Kalra, which was thrown
in the waste paper basket by Sunil Dev, knowing fully well that this boy was specially
handpicked by him personally. A major scandal is about to break out, which will show
DDCA in very poor light and you, as the past President will have to accept your part in
the cover up of the scandal which broke out when you were at the helm. Despite our
repeated pleadings, you did your best to suppress this fraud, and went all out to support
Sunil Dev and Vinod Tihara so that truth would remain buried.
4) Excise Department is on the verge of cancelling DDCA's bar license for serving liqor
on October 2, a national holiday. Thousands of liqor bottles have been polished off by
DDCA office bearers, on all days, and lakhs of entertainment bills have been presented
by freeloaders in DDCA. DDCA's money has been squandered on satiating the thirst of
drunkards, who love to drink at DDCA's expense.
5) Hundreds of fake bills such as City Tec Solution, Micro systems, Digital Solutions, R.
K Jewellers, Extra Value Consulting, etc have been paid for. Chartered Accountants have
been given fake payments- among them are Extra Value Consulting, S S Gupta, Surendra
K Sharma & Associates, Ajay Kr Gupta, MSA & Associates, M Sharma & Associates,
Gaurav Gupta, Tax India, etc have been paid multiple bills. Similarly, Kaushnik
Buildcast has been paid crores of rupees for practically no work in DDCA. Security
firms, cleaning companies, exaggerated transport and hotel bills, air tickets shown to
have been procured at last-minute prices when the schedule was known at the beginning
of the season, Solution Unlimited, Ultimate IT Solution Pvt Ltd, APJ Buildwell Stream
Marketing Pvt Ltd etc have all been given handsome payments for some work, that
nobody knows about. Despite having excess staff, labour has been requisitioned,
electricians from the market have been deployed, AC mechanics, electricians, plumbers
etc have been paid money, which has all the portents of a massive fraud. Sanjay
Bhardwaj has been paid large amounts in different names, Sanjay Bhardwaj, MSA
Associates, M Sharma & Associates, Extra Value Consulting etc.
6) The construction of the stadium is another scam. From Rs 24 crores, the ultimate cost
has crossed Rs 130 crores and the stadium is still not completed. Kothari Associates,
Architects were paid Rs 3.65 crores in a stadium that cost Rs 57 crores, when handed
over by EPI in 2008. MRA Associates was again paid Rs 1.60 crores for professional
consultancy and several civil works were seemingly shown to have been done by
Kaushnik Buildcast (Rs 12 crores) Generator sets by several companies were installed,
chairs were installed at inflated prices- cost of the stadium was deliberately inflated,
obviously this money was siphoned off in large amounts.
7) Your major contribution to DDCA was to permeate your special love for certain
lawyers and encourage cases to be filed against DDCA and in turn, happily approve cases
to be filed against clubs/secretaries. Member lawyers like J S Bakshi have been paid in
crores, for attending to cases even on holidays, and for simply discussing cases with
senior lawyers. As Patron In Chief, you should ensure that DDCA becomes a law firm

and should give up running cricket. The lawyers were seen to be attending courts even
when they were closed. Bills were being presented daily.
8) DDCA office bearers, both in the Executive Committee as well as in SWC have been
looting DDCA funds with impunity. Despite hundreds of letters and pleadings, you never
bothered about the corruption in DDCA and were intent to maintain status quo, and kept
supporting your 'valuable' colleagues who were milking DDCA dry. It is shocking that
you still call the DDCA office bearers to your residence and give advice as to how to
suppress the truth. It is understood, that your man Friday Narinder Batra has been tasked
with the responsibility of helping DDCA in making another sham Balance Sheet through
Sanjay Bhardwaj, who was retained despite our strong protest, based on strong
indictment by SFIO. Please see the minutes of the December 2013 AGM, and you will
recall how vehemently we opposed the appointment of this tainted auditor, yet you and
Batra rammed home his retention.
9) Ravi Jain and S P Bansal have been allegedly charging TA, DA, Air fare for visiting
BCCI work whilst simultaneously getting reimbursement from BCCI. In fact, Ravi Jain
has been tagging along even when he was not required in BCCI. Just to push and pull
Srinivasan's chair, he availed DDCA's money to visit BCCI premises. Much of the money
that has been withdrawn in cash to allegedly Government agencies for various approvals
have been facilitated by Ravi Jain, who has recently purchased two floors in an upmarket
locality. Most of the DDCA office bearers including Anil Khanna, C K Khanna, S P
Bansal, Tihara, Sunil Dev, Dinesh Sharma etc have no apparent vocation, yet are thriving
at the cost of DDCA. Many of the familial responsibilities of Bansal, Anil Khanna , C K
Khanna, Ravi Jain etc have been happily completed through their association with
DDCA. We kept telling you about the antecedents of many of these chaps, yet you kept
on inducting these guys in your Executive Committee on the basis of ill-gotten proxies
that you controlled. And, they have been your very close buddies, against whom
cricketers and members were regularly complaining about- your personal
friendship with all these crooks, despite 200 letters and hundreds of SMSs meant
nothing.

I have been reading letters and articles in newspapers about the mismanagement in
DDCA, which has derailed cricket and has allowed certain office bearers to swindle
crores of rupees from the coffers of DDCA. Recently Mail Today has quoted S P Bansal,
the corrupt President, saying that he is unaware of the fact that subsidy and payments to
umpires, Ranji players have not been paid for the last two to three years. I am not
surprised to read Bansal's shameless views. He has followed your dictum- Buy time,
take no action. Keep doing what you are doing and dont bother about complaints. In
fact, each time we have confronted him with facts, he has always said this standard
sentence- "I am not aware, I will get back to you after checking it". Of course he never
gets back, and the standard refrain is only meant to buy time, and to swindle even more
money from DDCA accounts. Even in the AGM, he always used to sit behind you and
Narinder Batra while you two would carry the meeting on the basis of white lies and

fob off questions about cricket and DDCA money. It is now that truth is coming out
and all these crooks have been caught with their hands in the DDCA's chest.
1) The entire stadium that has been unauthorizedly constructed is a scam. No
tenders were invited, and a stadium which was supposed to have been constructed
in 24 crores has already cost Rs 130 crores. EPI the main civil contractor, was paid
Rs 57 crores, and another Rs 30 crores was paid to other civil contractors such as
Kaushnik Buildcast, Spacon Engineering, Shriram Tradecom etc- many of them are
inter related companies and have put up fake bills, all of which have been duly
recommended by Chaurasia and processed by Pankaj Bhardwaj, C K Bhardwaj
and Pritam Panwar. All the work relating to accounts is done by non-accountants,
including C K Bhardwaj who used to sell gutkas a few years back. With Pankaj
Bhardwaj, (another swindler), and Bansal's driver's son also in accounts
department, Bansal's dubious control of accounts department was complete. All the
bills were taken to his residence, and were approved without a murmur. I have hundreds
of bills which have been confirmed to be fake, and from non-existent companies, for
imaginary work which have been approved by S P Bansal, Anil Khanna and Anil Jain.
DDCA's money is insufficient to pay for staff salaries and electricity bills because money
was being routinely swindled by S P Bansal and his chelas/patrons over the last several
years. Subvention money from BCCI is pending because there is no Balance Sheet and
audited accounts for 2013-14 till date. But, Bansal and company are sitting pretty because
they have already defrauded DDCA as much as possible, and their investments in
property and vehicles is all too well known to merit further mention. Most of these guys
do no work but are multi-millionaires because of their association with DDCA. They just
do not want to leave DDCA and keep ripping it apart year after year. And, you kept
supporting them despite our specific charges against him. Please see your enclosed
certificate about Bansal that you gave me a few years back.

2) Another example of your injecting dirty politics was by getting involved in SWC,
Bansal has ensured that his sympathizers were routinely thrown some crumbs so that
their loyalty would always be available for him to stream roll any opposition from the
cricketers and other right thinking club secretaries. As a strategy, clubs have been
terrorized by giving total freedom to the Sports Secretary and Sports Convener, who have
been threatening non pliable clubs that their club boys will not be allowed to play, and by
also keeping them engaged in Court cases. Every year two or three clubs are at risk of
being taken over. Syndicate Bank CC, Ravi Bros CC, Paragon CC, KG Colts CC etc have
all been under threat. Late Sh D C Chaudhry's Youngsters CC has been almost taken over
by Sunil Dev and Tihara, and a taped conversation in which Tihara is heard openly
demanding Rs 55 lakhs shows how clubs are being held hostage by Sunil Dev and Tihara,
who have ganged up to loot club secretaries of their clubs unless they are paid money.
Biased selections, over age players etc are some other ways of mismanaging the club
structure in Delhi, which has produced such great cricketers in the past years, and it is
shocking how it is being thoroughly abused by self-seeking rogues, with the help of
Bansal and his gang of musclemen and crooks. And, you encouraged them by saving
them in the Syndicate Bank takeover case, by deliberately misinterpreting simple

sentences of English. If you had taken action against these chaps then, we would
been spared of all the subsequent robbery attempts as we are witnessing now.
3) Another contribution that you have made in DDCA is to ensure that not more than a
handful of members visit DDCA precincts on a daily basis. By unleashing Tihara and his
gang of uncouth crooks, you ensured that not more than 10-12 members would gather the
guts to visit DDCA on any given day. Musclemen and crooks, who bring in bouncers,
and make merry every day, are encouraged by Bansal and company to roam around the
premises. These chaps have no work and are seen spending time in DDCA and drinking
and eating at DDCA's expense every day. Nearly 2000 liqor bottles, half of which are
shown to be broken, are consumed by these swindlers. Remember all this is money
meant for promotion of cricket and for clubs, which is defalcated by a handful of
office bearers. We kept complaining, but you simply brushed our complaints under
the carpet.
4) Every year, Rs 2 crores is paid to 17 Chartered Accountants for the same work, and
another Rs 2 crores, is shown to have been paid to a few lawyers. Whoever is
inconvenient is made to undergo court appearances. DDCA, under your charge, has been
paying for third party cases which have nothing to do with DDCA. Sunil Dev and Tihara,
with your active support, have been paying lakhs of rupees to their favorite lawyer,
Gautam Dutta who is paid for giving advise how Paragon, Ravi Bros and other clubs
have to be taken over, and for his visiting IP Estate PS for checking up on my complaints.
Cases are filed through third parties against our cricketers association and media
journalists to ensure that no one challenges them. The DDCA auditor is facing serious
charges in Tis Hazari Court (in the court of Sh D K Sharma, case no. 215 (3) and is
also being tried for presenting sham accounts by Institute of Chartered
Accountants. You will recall how you and Narinder Batra had retained this very
auditor despite several members objecting to his retention in successive AGMs. It is
clear that the auditor's job has been to throw dirt in all members' eyes, and to allow
Bansal and group to defalcate large amounts of money from DDCA's coffers. We
kept complaining, but your support for all the loot by your buddies ensured that law
never caught up with them.
Please remember that Bansal's actions of swindling money are tantamount to fraud under
Section 447 under the Companies Act, 2013, and he is liable to be arrested and jailed for
at least 7 years. By your apparent meddling in the affairs and your attempts to
somehow limit the damage, and to save your long standing buddies, Ministry of
Corporate Affairs is going out of its way to compound all the applications that a
handful of DDCA office bearers are filing in CLB. Recently, 12 out of 17
applications in Lok Adalat were compromised under the Chairmanship of one
lawyer, U K Chaudhry, who incidentally was a lawyer brought into DDCA by you
for representing DDCA in these very cases. Can there be a more glaring case of
cover up?
Please read Section 5 G and H of the Companies Act. As the President, you were
equally responsible for all the violations of Company Law that happened under

your charge for 14 long years. Please also see your own declaration in AS 18 of the
Balance Sheet for the year 2012-13. You have certified yourself to be one of the 8
Key Management Personnel in DDCA. Yet, as a faint hearted leader, you have
chosen to run away from accepting your own responsibility. You have all adopted
all foul and manufactured means to avoid taking any responsibility, and have
adopted techniques such as sending 17 applications for compounding to the Lok
Adalat, that too by adopting your known lawyer, U K Chaudhry. My request to you
is- Please seek accountability from all the crooks in DDCA who have been
defalcating crores of rupees every year- money that was legitimately that of cricket.
We cricketers are fighting from outside and are seeking action against all the
swindlers who have defalcated money from DDCA over the years.
We are very close to having a few office bearers arrested and prosecuted. We expect you
to help us in throwing out these corrupt and crooked office bearers, legally. DDCA
management has to stop taking your and Narinder Batras advise- you have proved to be
a big failure because of your lack of knowledge of finance, administration and legal
provisions governing companies. By your deliberate inaction and misplaced support for
known swindlers, you have ruined DDCA. In fact, this approach has been fully exploited
by Batra and Bansal over the years with the help of corrupt accounts department and an
even more corrupt Chartered Accountant, as the auditor.
I am enclosing some of the relevant letters that we exchanged over the years to jog your
memory. It is just a matter of time that all your erstwhile buddies are jailed for their
misdeeds and for violations of law. You have tried all means to somehow save them. But,
as you often say- Law should take its own course. I am sure that law will take its own
course, howsoever much you try to subvert it. While you never supported our efforts to
cleanse DDCA of these fraudsters and swindlers, we will continue with our efforts to do
so. And I promise, you will see the results, soon.
With warm personal regards,
Yours truly,
(Kirti Azad)
