The IPL 2025 season has started. In such a situation, an interview of IPL founder Lalit Modi has emerged. In which he has expressed his opinion about leaving India. He said in a podcast interview that he left India in 2010, not because of legal problems, but because of murderous pressure from underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. Lalit Modi made this claim in the recent episode of Raj Shamni’s podcast ‘Figuring Out’.
Dawood had threatened
Lalit Modi said in an interview: “When I received death threats, I left the country.” “In the beginning, there was no legal problem why I had to leave the country. He had received death threats from Dawood Ibrahim. Dawood Ibrahim was after me because he wanted to fix matches. , the anti-corruption campaign was very important and I felt that the integrity of the game was very important.”
‘The police gave a 12-hour guarantee’
Lalit claimed that his personal bodyguard asked him to use the airport’s VIP exit for security reasons. Things escalated further when senior police officers told him he was on the hit list and could only be guaranteed 12 hours of security. Lalit said, “Deputy Commissioner of Police Himanshu Roy was waiting for me at the airport.” “They told me, ‘We can no longer protect you. Your life is in danger. We can only guarantee your safety for the next 12 hours.’ From there they took me to the Four Seasons hotel in Mumbai.”
He said this upon returning to the country.
Modi stated in the interview that he could return to India “any day.” He said, “I can return to India tomorrow morning, but my aim is not to go. Legally I am not a fugitive. There is not a single case against me in any court. If there is any case, please file it.” “
Let us inform you that it is well known that Lalit Modi is in the D-Company result list. A few years ago, Dawood’s trusted aide Chhota Shakeel had revealed in an interview that, at the behest of an underworld don, a team of snipers had gone to Bangkok, where Lalit Modi was staying. Chhota Shakeel claimed that he and his team of shooters reached the hotel where Lalit Modi was going to kill him, but fled because the former IPL president had prior information.
