Hardly .... most would call it political witch hunting and I tend to agree.

The man deserves it, stealing money from thw 1996 world cup account is just wrong.

So do I,
Lalit Modi has definately launched a witch hunt against Jagmohan Dalmiya.
Also,the BCCI is not very keen on letting Dalmiya started tournaments to continue-Asia Cup for example.
That explains a lot.

News is that Dalmiya has been suspended for 6 months.But some disciplinary commitee will decide his ultimate fate.

Well Dalmiya is master politician. He'll get out of this I am sure.

If Dalmiya was found over a dead body, clutching a bloody knife, and said to the police, "I'm glad I killed the *******", he could probably get out of it.

It was Colonel Mustard in the dining room with the candlestick that's why!

Yeah, probably. Makes you respect his talents just a little bit, doesn't it ?
