Mumbai, March 24:: Former Cricket Board President Jagmohan Dalmiya has been found to have misappropriated over Rs 2.90 crore in the BCCI accounts, police said on Monday.

During investigations, the Economic Offences Wing has found that Dalmiya diverted funds from a bank account in Kolkata meant for paying legal fees towards various other expenses.

The expenses included paying personal phone bills, purchasing foreign exchange, car rental, hotel bills and stationary.

Oviously, Mr. Dalmiya fight agaisnt Mr. Sharad Pawar so obviously all the things will be opened against him! Mr. Dalmiya who broght Indian crecket in total lime light and BCCI was one of the most fianancially sound organization in his leadership. He made BCCI so well that the smell of money stack went to so many people including Sharad Pawar too! Now the poor Dalmiya will face problems from the one of the most influential man of India's politics.
