Dehradun, Jul 14 (IANS): Dehradun police have questioned the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand (CAU) officials after an FIR was lodged by the father of a former U19 cricketer on charges of extortion and death threats.

Virendra Sethi, the father of the former U-19 player, filed a complaint at the Vasant Vihar Police station in Dehradun, alleging that his son was threatened for his life by the team officials, manager Navneet Mishra and video analyst Piyush Raghuvanshi.

"For the past three days, we have called Mahim Verma, Manish Jha and Sanjay Gusain separately. We have interrogated them. We have taken their statements. If needed, it will be done again," Janmejaya Khanduri, SSP Dehradun, was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.
