Mumbai, May 02: Lalit Modi’s alleged financial irregularities dominated the discussion in today’s BCCI Working Committee meeting, during which the members “agreed” with the charges levelled against the suspended IPL Commissioner.
During the hour-long deliberation at its headquarters, BCCI President Shashank Manohar explained to the 22 members of the committee just why it was important to suspend Modi from all IPL and Board posts.
“All the members agreed upon the charges against Modi,” a source told PTI.
“All the happenings leading up to the suspension were also told to the members. Manohar informed the members about several deals that Modi entered into without the IPL Governing Council’s knowledge, including the TV rights deal,” he added.
Modi was suspended as the Chairman and Commissioner of the league after the IPL final last Sunday because of alleged financial irregularities and rigging of bids.
