Dalmiya faces fresh allegations
NEW DELHI, April 8: In a fresh charge against Jagmohan Dalmiya, Indian cricket board alleged that its former president failed to provide proper explanation for withdrawing about Rs 1.52 crore of board money. Board of Control for Cricket in India also alleges Dalmiya withdrew Rs 585,000 without properly explanation, says a board document prepared after Dalmiya's reply to show cause notice on “misappropriation of funds”.
All this is besides Rs 21.74 lakh of 1996 World Cup money that Dalmiya has allegedly spent on travel and hotel expenses after laying down office of BCCI president in 2004.
“Huge cash withdrawals amounting to approximately Rs1.52 crore from Indian Overseas Bank (IOB), Bhowanipore, Kolkata) have been made for which no proper explanation is available,” BCCI says in the document.
“In particular, cash withdrawals of Rs 65,000 per month during period April 2005 to December 2005 have not been properly explained by Mr Dalmiya in spite of a specific mention in show cause notice issued to him,” it says.
The document further alleges that Rs 1.28 crore had been paid for Dalmiya and his family.
BCCI says “enough material” has been collected against Dalmiya that a second show cause notice could be slapped on him.
“There is enough material for a second show cause notice based on details furnished (so far).”
The above allegations come on heels of investigation by Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Dalmiya, former treasurers Kishore Rungta and Jyoti Bajpai, ex-secretary S.K. Nair, manager of IOB, Bhowanipore, Kolkata, where account in question, No 1223, was maintained.
After BCCI lodged FIR with police in Mumbai last month, Dalmiya moved High Court that gave them a reprieve till April 10, during which time EOW officials quizzed the five in Mumbai and in Kolkata. —Agencies
