Dalmiya, who was admitted to a Kolkata hospital few days back after he complained of chest pain, passed away this evening following a massive cardiac arrest.

Reactions also started pouring in from Union ministers with HRD minister Smriti Irani condoling his death. "My thoughts are with the family of Shri Jagmohan Dalmiya in this hour of grief. May Sri Dalmiya's soul rest in peace," she said.
