Hyderabad Ticket Stampede: Four people were injured in stampede for September 25 T20 match between India and Australia; police are planning action against HCA
Former India captain Mohammed Azharuddin, who heads the Hyderabad Cricket Association, has said the stampede for tickets to the September 25 India-Australia T20 match was not the association's fault.
"It is not as easy to conduct a match as sitting in this room and discussing. We have done nothing wrong. We are with the fans who were injured, and the HCA will take care of them completely," the former India captain said last evening, sitting next to the Telangana Sport Minister, V Srinivas Goud, who sought a report.
Four people were injured, and police are also planning action against the HCA, which is the organising body.
"I will give a complete report on the sale of tickets, availability and other details to the minister, and he will tell you what is correct and what is wrong," Mohammed Azharuddin further said.
