Telangana Olympic Association alleges fraud, files complaint against a group of persons
TOA's complaint alleges tampering and deletion of names of the elected principal office bearers of the Telangana Olympic Association in the online portal and unlawfully replaced them with others names
Hyderabad: The Telangana Olympic Association (TOA) lodged a complaint with the Saifabad police against a group of persons for allegedly involving in fraudulent entries in the official portal by tampering names of office bearers of Telangana Olympic Association.
In the complaint lodged on January 26, 2025, the TOA representatives said C Babu Rao, Shivshankar Agnigotri, Venkatesh (computer operator) and their associates, who are not related to any sports associations of the State along with other anti-social elements have tampered and deleted the names of the elected principal office bearers of the Telangana Olympic Association in the online portal and unlawfully replaced them with their own names.
This caused immense disrespect to the dignitaries of TOA on arrival at the RGI Airport and the venue of the 38th National Games, resulting in hindrance for the smooth conduct of the event and coordination for the athletes of the State.
It has come to my attention that certain individuals within the office of the State Sports Authorities may also be complicit in this act, enabling or facilitating the fraudulent changes in the records, they alleged.
They further said that the deceitful act has misled the State Sports Authorities and the National Games Secretariat, causing harm to the integrity and functioning of our organization, as well as to the rightful office bearers.
Their actions amount to forgery, cheating and breach of trust, which warrant immediate investigation and action under the relevant sections of the law.
The Saifabad police are investigating.
