Respected Finance Minister,
Re: DDCA- A story of
deceipt, and loot
Kindly recall my and other members’ hundreds of letters to you while you were the
President of DDCA, drawing your attention to scores of infraction of rules, procedure, fiscal
indiscipline, misgovernance, maladministration and siphoning away of funds from the coffers of
DDCA. Sadly, you kept targetting me in particular by calling me names and for running down
my family members including my wife and my sons. I kept quiet because I knew that my
crusade, as indeed that of my fellow cricketers was for a just cause and that sooner than later, the
truth would come out, and give people like you a resounding rebuff, which I think, is now almost
areality.
1 am attaching herewith some relevant information/documents which will give a lie to
your misstatements and fobbing us off with warped and inaccurate replies. At every level, you
tried to mislead us and your personal interest in defending your ‘valuable colleagues” was simply
shocking. Now that the SFIO Report is my hands, and I have seen the unimaginable rot in
DDCA under your misrule for 14 consecutive years, I am literally numbed at your actions and
inactions to control/manage the affairs of a smail association like DDCA. Now that action has to
be taken against all office bearers, your own role has to naturally come in sharp focus, since the
Ministry under your charge is supposed to take action against the key Management Personnel
and all office bearers at that time- yourself included. While you have always smartly sidestepped
responsibility as President of DDCA for all its ills and mismanagement, it seems that time has
come to seek accountability from you.
The dubious role of certain office bearers who have been defalcating at least Rs 25 crores
every year, and the cover up provided by the auditors should wake you and Finance Ministry
officials to the massive fraud that has perpetrated in DDCA every year. Hundreds of questions on
financial matters have not been answered by your management every year, You will recall that
cach year, many members raised the issue of the tainted Audit firm, yet you and Sh Narinder

Batra over ruled all of us and retained them, for reasons that are becoming clear with each
passing day. It is now not surprising that Sh Batra, who enjoys your total backing and protection
hhas been abusing me in mails that he is forwarding you, in the matter of Hockey India vs [HF
imbroglio, where he has usurped hockey’s management in India. [ understand that you are also a
Director in their Hil league, which shows how political patronage has resulted in the unauthorized
takeover of a sports organization that had been running hockey since 1935. But that is another
story.
Just look at the track record of DDCA’s audit firm. ‘The auditor, till 2012 was one Ashish
Makhija, who was a Joint Secretary in DDCA, and when members objected to this ‘double role’,
he gave up his role as Joint Secretary, and changed the name of his Company to RMSB &
ASSOCIATES (Rashmi Makhija and Sanjay Bhardwaj) and continued manipulating DDCA’s
accounts through this new company in which his wife, Rashmi Makhija is a key member. The
Regional Director’s Report is a grim reminder of what a pliant auditor can do to pull wool over
the eyes of members of a company. Merely fining the auditor and a few sacrificial office bearers
will not recover the loss of hundreds of crores- it is apparently a great business model to first
defalcate large amounts of money and then get away by paying a small amount of fine by getting
the infractions compounded. And I will not detail your own fixing of elections in DDCA year
after year. If you want, I can send you court certified copies of the proxies that you yourself cast
in 2012 where instead of 2 Joint Secretary (Sports), you cast in favor of three candidates- yet, the
proxies were counted as genuine, and a close election got swayed by the sleight of hand of your
handpicked Election Officer.
As to action to be taken against the key management personnel in pursuance of the
Regional Director's Report, I request you to kindly see the declaration made by you in DDCA’s
Annual Accounts for 2012-13 as to how many key management personnel they have. Even
otherwise, as clearly enunciated under Section 5 (Gand H) of the Companies Act, in the absence
of specific work allocstion amongst various office bearers (to be registered with ROC) all office
bearers will be deemec to be responsible for infractions of law. As President, you took a decision
to save Entertainment tax by underpricing nearly half of the tickets, most of which were doled
out as freebies.
Having known you well enough, I am reasonably sure that you will try your best to rubbish me
as much as you can, and will try to rubbish the SFIO findings which are a confirmation of the
mismanagement and defaleation of money in DDCA. Be as it may, law should catch up with all
the wrongdoers who have shown no accountability so far. I am sure that the higher Courts will
certainly take note of the findings, and will ensure punishment to all, many of whom who have

been regularly misusing DDCA’s funds. It is time to recover the money siphoned off from this
association over the period that you were in charge of.
If you still have some faith in the rule of law, I would suggest that you should initiate
action against DDCA for recovering at least Rs 150 crores which has ostensibly been defalcated
by a few office beurers. Just compounding a few infractions is not enough punishment- efforts
should be made to get back Rs 150 crores of public money. As a Finance Minister who has
taken the oath to work in accordance with the constitution and rules of good governance, I trust
that you will take the right decision to seek the help of other Investigative agencies to recover the
defaleated public money, which has been used in buying properties and farm houses by your
“valued colleagues” who you always defended, with all your might.
Our Government has begun to clean up the mess left behind by UPA. I only hope that the
mess left by you in DDCA js also cleaned up in one fell swoop, and all wrongdoers are punished,
irrespective of their status. I hope that you will allow the law to take its own course, finally.
