Lalit Modi Deportation

Keeping up the offensive on the Vijay Mallya issue, Congress today asked the government whether it will seek his deportation from the UK or would put his case in "cold storage" by going in for his extradition as, it claimed, was done in the matter related to Lalit Modi.

A day after NDTV accessed correspondence between the United Progressive Alliance government and the British authorities to bring back Lalit Modi to India, a war of words has broken out between the Congress and the BJP over bringing back the disgraced cricket boss.

Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram had written to the United Kingdom two years ago calling for the deportation of disgraced cricket boss Lalit Modi over allegations of money laundering, a letter accessed by NDTV has shown.

In a press statement, former the IPL chairman Lalit Modi has rubbished reports that India's Ministry of External Affairs is seeking help from UK authorities to enforce his return.

Further trouble for the sacked IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi as the government may seek his deportation to make him join the probe into the alleged violation of foreign exchange laws in the conduct of T20 cricket tournaments.
