GCA fraud: Goa cops head for BCCI office

The Goa police, probing the multi-crore fraud within the Goa Cricket Association have dispatched a three member team to the office of the Board of Control for Cricket in India at Mumbai in a bid to gather details of the cheques that were given to the GCA.

“A team is headed to Mumbai and will inquire with BCCI officials the details of the cheques given to the GCA during 2007-08 when the alleged forgery happened,” a police official said.

The BCCI had given the GCA cheques of ₹2.87 crore as a grant for television broadcasting.

\"The records of BCCI will be crucial evidence in this case. Once we get details of the cheque, the investigation will get an impetus,\" the official said.

Meanwhile, Adv Dessai sought to know how GCA life member Hemant Angle, who initially blew the lid of the scandal got the information of the fake bank account in DCB which was opened in 2007.

He also sought that the bank manager Lalita Kakodkar be subjected to custodial interrogation. JMFC judge Vijayalaxmi Shivolkar adjourned the court and further hearing is postponed on Thursday.

Meanwhile Adv Surendra Dessai argued on behalf of the arrested GCA former office bearers GCA president Chetan Desai, Secretary Vinod Phadke and Treasurer Akbar Mulla as Advocate Subodh Kantak didn\'t show up in the court.
