Jammu Court Orders Police Probe into BCCI Chief Mithun Manhas' Date of Birth Discrepancy
A Jammu court has ordered the local police to investigate allegations against BCCI president Mithun Manhas regarding discrepancies in his date of birth. The inquiry follows a complaint by Sudershan Mehta, who accused Manhas of submitting two different birth dates to gain eligibility for junior-level cricket tournaments. School records from Maharaja Hari Singh Agriculture Collegiate list his birth date as December 9, 1977, while the Delhi and District Cricket Association website shows October 12, 1979. The police are to report back by September 3.
