The 75-year-old veteran cricket administrator has been physically indisposed for quite some time with lot of ailments and was actively not taking any part in the BCCI's day to day activities.
"Jagmohan Dalmiya was today admitted to the BM Birla Hospital after 9 pm after he was brought here with complaints of chest pain. A medical team has been assigned and they are monitoring his health," a hospital source said on Thursday.
During the time of hospitalisation, his son Abhishek Dalmiya is learnt to have accompanied him. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly also rushed from his Behala residence while minister in-charge of sports (West Bengal) Arup Biswas also rushed to the hospital.
That Dalmiya's health has been an issue was an open secret in the Indian cricket circle for quite some time after he took over the BCCI president's post in March, this year. Due to Dalmiya's health conditions, it has been secretary Anurag Thakur who has called the shots.
It has been quite some time that Dalmiya has not been able to properly conduct any BCCI meetings in the near past.
