Shashank  Manohar, president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said the IPL bidding process was not influenced by any politicians.

"I don't think there is any political pressure. I can assure you as far as I am concerned. Nobody can change my decision. Modi stands suspended from all posts -- as the BCCI vice president, member of the marketing committee, fixture committee and all the board activities," he said.

"There is no involvement of any member of the family of former BCCI president Sharad Pawar. The bid documents have been seen by the Income-tax departments officials. Media is entitled to speculation," he added.
