FORMER INDIAN CRICKET CHIEF IN THE DOCK

Tagged in , &

Indian cricket bosses have filed an official complaint with police chiefs in Mumbai as they pursue their case against Jagmohan Dalmiya.

Former Board of Control for Cricket in India president Dalmiya is alleged to have "misappropriated" official funds.

The papers filed accuse Dalmiya of a "criminal breach of trust" in events centred on the 1996 World Cup.

Dalmiya said: "There is no truth in the allegations. The BCCI management has a single point agenda to malign me."

Meanwhile, a close associate of Mr Dalmiya, U N Bannerjee has filed a defamation case against the present board vice-president Lalit Modi, reports BBC Sport.

Dalmiya was the most powerful man in Indian cricket for two decades, and helped the board become the world's richest sporting body.
