Lalit Modi, the now suspended IPL commisioner has again hit back at the BCCI as he has raised a number of issues which point fingers directly at the BCCI. These are some of the salient points that he has fired in the 12 page E-mail that he has sent to the BCCI top brass.
* The BCCI president, Shashank Manohar and it's secretary, N Srinivasan should be removed from the panel that has been set-up to probe the charges leveled against him. Modi feels that having Manohar and Srinivasan in the panel is a clear case of bias as both have conflict of interests against him.
* An independent body, preferably with a retired Supreme Court judge as it's head should be set-up to probe the charges leveled against him.
* The BCCI president, Shashank Manohar knew about the TV deals that were clinched during the IPL.
* Manohar wanted the wanted the IPL bid process cancelled and asked me to accept the bid by the Kochi franchise even after the deadline.
* Manohar spoke to Congress MP and former minister of state for external affairs Shashi Tharoor on the Kochi bid.
* Manohar used my phone, e-mail to contact Sahara Group and Dainik Bhaskar on bids. Manohar was fully aware of details of TV rights to Sony-MSM. I have documentary evidence to support the latest charges.
* Manohar should be cross-examined as a witness.
* N Srinivasan, the BCCI secretary, sought wrong benefits for the Chennai Super Kings. He also wanted handpicked umpires for the Chennai Super Kings matches and did not want Kieron Pollard to play for the Mumbai Indians.
* BCCI was also aware of the fact that Manoj Badale represented the Jaipur IPL franchise. Jaipur IPL, the company that owns the Rajasthan Royals team, is reportedly proposing to give a stake in the team to Badale-promoted Emerging Media IPL.
* I do not have any personal interest in the Rajasthan Royals franchise.
