Enforcement Directorate issues 'Look Out Circular' against Lalit Modi | The Enforcement Directorate has issued a 'Look Out Circular' against sacked Indian Premier League (IPL) Commissioner Lalit Modi at all entry points and airports in the country in connection with its probe into the alleged misappropriation of funds in the T20 cricket tournament.
The circular has been sent to entry points and airports in the country along with
the photographs of 46-year-old Modi. The circular empowers the police and other
enforcement agencies to detain the individual at these check points and immediately
inform about the detention to the issuing agency. It has been reported that the
Enforcement Directorate has also initiated the process of revoking Modi's passport
and is examining the FIR filed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)
against him for alleged misappropriation of funds. The Enforcement Directorate
had recently issued an international 'Blue Notice Alert' for Lalit Modi's detention
for alleged 'serious contraventions' of the foreign exchange law after its investigation.
The notice issued by the Enforcement Directorate earlier this month has asked
law enforcement agencies across the globe that Modi 'should be detained as and
when noticed' and the agency be 'informed immediately'. The issued notice bears
Modi's photograph and passport number besides other details. BCCI Secretary N.
Srinivasan had earlier on Wednesday filed a police complaint against Modi on charges
of misappropriation of funds. The BCCI had given a show-cause notice to Modi in
May this year, charging him with financial irregularities in the Indian Premier
League (IPL) cricket tournament. Modi was accused of committing a wide range of
corruption allegations, including bribery and tax evasion, resulting in his suspension
from the post of IPL Commissioner in April.
