Cricketer Mohammed Siraj inducted as Deputy Superintendent of Police
Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj has officially assumed his role as Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in Telangana after reporting to the Director General of Police (DGP) on Friday. The appointment comes as part of a promise made by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who had previously announced that Siraj would be granted a Group-I government position in recognition of his outstanding contributions to cricket and his representation of India on the global stage.
The cricketer's new role was confirmed and made official during a formal ceremony where he joined the services as DSP. Siraj, a native of Hyderabad, has risen through the ranks of Indian cricket with his hard work and dedication, becoming one of the country's leading fast bowlers. His appointment as DSP marks a significant moment in his career, reflecting his growing influence both on and off the field.
This gesture by the Telangana government is seen as a mark of honor and respect for his contributions, recognizing his efforts not just as an athlete but also as a role model for aspiring sportspeople. Congress MP Anil Kumar Yadav and Senior Congress Leader Faheem Qureshi were also present at the occasion.
