Noose tightens around Lalit Modi, CBI sends Red Corner evidence to Interpol


New Delhi, Aug 20 (India Today) : The Central Bureau of Investigation on Thursday sent documentary evidence to enable the Interpol issue a Red Corner notice against tainted former Indian Premier League chairman Lalit Modi who is wanted in India for evading laws on taxation and foreign exchange.

Last week, after the Lalit Modi controversy resulted in the complete washout of Parliament's Monsoon Session, the government had said it will issue a Red Corner notice against Modi soon. "We will issue Red Corner notice against Lalit Modi very soon," Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore had said.

The Enforcement Directorate, which wants Modi to come back and face trial in India, had asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to issue a Red Corner notice against the cricket czar. Earlier this month, a Mumbai court had also issued a non-bailable warrant against Modi, who has triggered a huge political storm for his links with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje.

Modi had left India in 2010 after he was accused of evading tax and other scams related to the IPL, which he founded. He has refused to return to India, saying he fears for his security in the country.

    I saw the Headlines today interview of Lalit Modi with Rajdeep Sardesai where in the argument given by him looks genuine.
    Just for non apperance in Hon Court I dont think a red corner notice can be issued at interpol.He says sudden withdrawal of security cover by Congress Govt in spite of repeated threatening calls by underworld is the main reason because of which he has been given shelter in UK.
    Or may be this time Modi Govt has prepared a water tight case against him then it may be possible

    Dear Dr S Kamath, Mumbai,

    NO RELATIVE EMOTIONAL HUMANITARIAN GIFT TO CRIMINALS.

    Lalit Modi has involved in Criminal activities for gaining wealth. Gaining wealth sushma and vasundara Raje were part of it in sharing the spoil.

    Law is equal to all.
