Fri Oct 11 14:16:57 UTC 2024: ## Telangana Government Honors Cricketer Mohammed Siraj with DSP Post and Land
**Hyderabad, October 11, 2024:** In a gesture of appreciation for his outstanding achievements in cricket, the Telangana government has appointed Mohammed Siraj as a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and gifted him a plot of land in Jubilee Hills.
The appointment letter was handed over to Siraj by the state’s Director General of Police (DGP) Jitender, fulfilling a promise made by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy earlier this year. Reddy had declared that Siraj would be awarded a DSP position and land in Jubilee Hills upon India winning the T20 World Cup 2024, a feat Siraj played a significant role in.
Siraj, who recently returned from a successful Test series in Bangladesh, is currently enjoying a well-deserved break. He is expected to rejoin the Indian team for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand.
The decision to honor Siraj has been met with positive reactions from cricket enthusiasts. They believe it is a fitting tribute to the talented cricketer, who has brought immense pride to Telangana and India through his exceptional performances on the international stage.
This gesture further solidifies Telangana’s commitment to supporting its sporting heroes, demonstrating the government’s belief in the importance of recognizing and rewarding outstanding contributions in the field of sports.
