Former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi on Monday apologised to the Indian government days after he referred to himself and Vijay Mallya as the two "biggest fugitives" in a viral video - which seemed to be an apparent swipe at India. Modi, however, did not specify what he was apologising for in his post on X. "I apologise if I have hurt anyone feelings especially the Indian Government who I have the highest respect and regard for. The statement was misconstrued and was never intended to be as played out. Once again my deepest apologies," he wrote.
