ED case against Lalit Modi |
The Enforcement Directorate is facing legal hurdles in deporting absconder Lalit Modi, the former chairman of the Indian Premier League, who has been in London since 2010 and has refused to appear before investigative agencies inIndia. The ED has written to the Tamil Nadu director general of police to submit a completion report on the investigation the state police has carried out against Modi in a criminal case filed against the fugitive businessman six years ago. In 2010, on a complaint filed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the TN police had filed a case against Modi on alleged misappropriation of funds of more than Rs 460 crore. The ED`s money laundering case against Modi is based on the police FIR. The ED`s application for deportation of Modi is pending before the UK authorities which has demanded the "outcome" of the predicate offence against the fugitive businessman. The 2010 Chennai case is the only predicate offence which has been the basis of ED seeking the Modi`s deportation. The anti-money laundering agency had earlier approached the Interpol for issuing a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against Modi.
