A local court on Monday granted anticipatory bail to former Indian cricket captain and Congress leader Mohammed Azharuddin in four cases registered against him at Uppal police station for alleged misappropriation of funds of Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA).

The court asked the Rachakonda police not to arrest Azharuddin but told the police that it may serve a notice to Azharuddin under Section 41A of CrPC for questioning.

The court order came as a relief to the former MP and working president of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee, who is contesting as Congress candidate from Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency.
