Mumbai (PTI): Suspended IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi today responded to the first show cause notice served to him for alleged financial irregularities with a staggering 12,000-page reply, which according to his lawyers, will leave BCCI with no choice but to re-instate him in the post.
Modi, who had got an extension of five days from May 10 deadline, submitted his reply through his lawyers, who brought in the papers in six cartons amidst the media frenzy at the Cricket Centre, the Board’s headquarters here.
BCCI Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty received the papers and documents on behalf of the Board and said all the concerned people will be given the copies.
Modi’s lawyers Mehmood Abdi talked with the waiting media for close to 30 minutes and said the reply had “sufficiently and fully addressed” all the allegations against his client.
