Former BCCI president Raj Singh Dungarpur on Tuesday found himself at the centre of a controversy with top officials of the Cricket Club of India (CCI) accusing him of misappropriation of funds during his tenure at the helm of the 74-year-old club, a charge which the veteran administrator vehemently denied.

In a sensational development, the club management has also barred Dungarpur from representing the club at any BCCI meeting till an enquiry is completed in the case.

Dungarpur, who headed the CCI for 12 years before relinquishing office early this year, has been accused of misappropriation of funds while setting up the floodlights at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai
