Com indicts Daya in 7 Cr fraud, suggests recovery

PTI, PANAJI | 01 August 2012 21:56 IST

Former Goa Cricket Association president Dayanand Narvekar has been accused of causing financial loss worth for Rs 6-7 crore to the cricket body during last fiscal, according to a report.

The report of the committee, headed by Chetan Desai, has also recommended that the money should be recovered from him.

The report, prepared by a committee constituted by Goa government, has been submitted to the state law department for recommending action on it.

In the report, Narvekar has been held guilty as managing committee members have stated that "he was single handedly managing the affairs of the association."

The committee comprising GCA's former secretary Chetan Desai has tallied a total revenue loss of Rs 6-7 crore for the financial year 2011-12.

In its several recommendations, the report has suggested that GCA should find ways to recover the money from Narvekar, who is also a former vice president of Board of Cricket Control of India (BCCI).

Narvekar, who remained GCA chairman for over a decade, was ousted by the committee members this year.

GCA recently held its elections where former vice president Vinod Fadke was chosen as its chairman.

The report mentions that Narvekar was called for the inquiry several times but he refused to depose before the committee.

In one of the issue, an advertising agency has complained that GCA had failed to refund an amount of Rs 1.18 crore which was paid towards advertising rights for the third one day international match between India-Australia on October 24, 2010, which was abandoned due to rains.

The report, which was prepared after taking the testimony of several people including the contractors, GCA managing committee members and others, has indicted Narvekar for misusing GCA.

One of the managing committee member told the inquiry committee that Narvekar was recruiting daily wage workers at his residence and his assembly constituency of Aldona, and their bill was footed by the GCA.

He has also accused Narvekar of "giving lot of orders for sports and other equipment without informing the managing committee."

The wedding of Narvekar's daughter was held at GCA campus and many of the bills of the reception were paid by GCA, the report alleges, quoting a senior management committee member.
