Mohammed Siraj Takes Charge As Deputy Superintendent Of Police In Telangana Government

India’s star speedster Mohammed Siraj has been appointed as Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) after reporting to Jitender, Telangana’s Director General of Police (DGP) on Friday (October 11, 2024). The moment after India lifted the ICC T-20 World Cup 2024 trophy, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy ordered the officials to give a government job and allot a plot of land to Siraj. 

However, Siraj is not the only player to get this honour, as the Telangana government gave a job to the two-time world champion boxer Nikhat Zareen after her brilliant performance. The last time when Siraj played for India was back during the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, where he took part in both Tests, scalping 4 wickets to guide India to whitewash the visitors.

"Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj has been appointed as Telangana's DSP, honoring his cricket achievements and dedication to the state. He will continue his cricket career while inspiring many with his new role."
