The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has reportedly issued a 'Blue Alert' with the help of Interpol for former Indian Premier League (IPL) Commissioner Lalit Modi over substantial Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) violations amounting to hundred of crores. A Blue Alert is issued by Interpol to establish the whereabouts and activities of a suspect person if he or she is traveling abroad. Under the Blue Alert, Modi cannot travel outside the country, and if he does, he can be detained at any public port of embarkation and disembarkation. After detainment at any International Check Post (ICP), the authorities of that country have to get in touch with Enforcement Directorate officials and hand Modi over for further investigations. The Blue Alert has been issued after Modi repeatedly failed to make himself available for interrogation.
