The Board of Control for Cricket in India filed a FIR against former BCCI President Jagmohan Dalmiya in Mumbai on Thursday for misappropriation of funds during the 1996 World Cup.

BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah, accompanied by another Board official, came to the Marine Drive police station late in the afternoon to file the FIR.

The two BCCI officials spent a few minutes at the police station but it was still not known whether all the formalities related to the FIR were completed.

Shah did not speak to waiting reporters but a top BCCI source confirmed that a FIR against Dalmiya would be filed.

The new BCCI regime, headed by Sharad Pawar, had recently accused Dalmiya of swindling BCCI money during the 1996 World Cup and had also pointed out certain irregularities in the PILCOM account.

The PILCOM (Pakistan-India-Lanka Committee) was formed to conduct the 1996 World Cup which was held in the sub-continent.
