However, the former BCCI chief was immediately granted bail and will be produced at the Quila court where a formal chargesheet will be filed against him.

Dalmiya was released on bail of Rs 25,000, his lawyer Satish Manashinde said.

The Crime Branch has accused Dalmiya of misappropriation of funds to the tune of Rs 2.9 crore. It is acting on a case filed by the BCCI in March 2006.

The Economic Offences Wing of the Crime Branch found that Dalmiya diverted funds meant for legal fees to other expenses including payment of personal phone bills.
