Dalmiya arriving for an earlier appearance at Mumbai police HQ
|
Former Indian cricket chief Jagmohan Dalmiya has been formally suspended from all board meetings while police investigate a complaint against him.
Dalmiya is accused of mishandling nearly £50,000 of funds during the 1996 World Cup staged in India - and using the money for "personal gains".
On Monday, he won pre-emptive bail from the Mumbai (Bombay) High Court on a surety of 25,000 rupees (£460).
That forbids the police from arresting
him without the court's permission.
But it was not a day of celebration for Dalmiya.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India called a news conference to announce his suspension.
At it, treasurer N. Srinivasan said: "The president (Sharad Pawar) wrote to Dalmiya informing him that he was being suspended from participating in the affairs of the board until adjudication of the charges."
