Modi gets documentary 'proofs' of his wrongdoings

Suspended IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi today received four documentary 'proofs' of his alleged wrongdoings from the BCCI. <br/><br/>The Cricket Board said, it could not offer other evidences since those were of verbal nature. Modi's lawyer Mehmood S Abdi told this to reporters in Mumbai after receiving the documents from the BCCI headquarters. He said, the four documents handed over to him included an agreement, two letters, one email and a copy of shareholding pattern of an IPL franchisee. Modi had asked for documents from the BCCI for mounting his defence against the first show cause notice that has charged him with financial irregularities and bid-rigging in IPL. <br/><br/>Board secretary, N Srinivasan has written in an email to Mr Modi that other references made in the show cause notice are oral transactions or verbal communications and there is no documentary proof for those. Modi, who was suspended by the BCCI on April 26, has been given an extra five days by the BCCI to reply to the charges that includes alleged irregularities in broadcast and internet deals. The new deadline is May 15.<br/>
