Agartala: A Special Investigation Team (SIT), formed as per the orders of Tripura High Court, has initiated a probe into alleged corruption within the Tripura Cricket Association (TCA).
The investigation centers on the construction of floodlights at Agartala’s MBB Cricket Stadium. TCA’s General Secretary, Tapash Ghosh, Vice President Timir Chanda, and their associates are accused of financial mismanagement and fund misappropriation in the multi-crore project.
It is claimed that the TCA awarded the contract to a company that charged significantly more than the original project cost.
Tapan Lodh, the President of Tripura Cricket Association, confirmed the commencement of the SIT investigation, which began by confiscating project-related files from TCA’s accounts, engineering, and administrative sections. Lodh emphasized cooperation with the investigation, guided by the High Court’s oversight, and pledged support throughout the process. The specific number of seized files remains undisclosed until the SIT provides a report to be submitted to the High Court, keeping the inquiry confidential.
