Indian investigative agencies are pro-actively trying to corner former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi and bring him back to India. Sources in the Enforcement Directorate claim that they have replied to the questionnaire sent by Interpol on Lalit Modi.
Interpol had asked why a red corner notice should be issued against the founder of IPL. Lalit Modi had written to Interpol, claiming that action against him was being taken due to political vindictiveness.
Interpol had sought details of whether there is ample evidence is available against Lalit Modi to arrest him. It had asked for information of the other accused in the case and the offence under which the case has been registered. It has also demanded to know why there was a delay in the investigation.
ED had moved Interpol in August 2015 for a Red Corner Notice to be issued against Lalit Modi. A red corner notice may enable Interpol to detain and bring Modi back to India from Malta, where he is said to be staying right now.
The Central Bureau of Investigation had recently sent documents to the Interpol to process the red-corner notice against Lalit Modi. A non-bailable arrest warrant was also issued against Lalit Modi by a Mumbai court over his alleged involvement in financial irregularities in the IPL.
