New Delhi, March 28 (Cricketnmore) Interpol has given a major reprieve to graft tainted former Indian Premier League (IPL) Chairman Lalit Modi denying a Red Notice against him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I just got off from a flight from Barcelona through which I sat completely numb. Just as I was boarding the flight I got the news that the Interpol had finally investigated and concluded and reached a verdict in my favour with a detailed letter of rejection of India's request for issuing of a Red Notice," Modi wrote on his Instagram account.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also posted Interpol documents, which were not for public dissemination, at his Instagram and Twitter accounts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"The sword that was hanging over my head has suddenly gone," Modi said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Interpol document dated March 24 said: "Lalit Kumar Modi... is not subject to an Interpol Red Notice or diffusion and not known in the Interpol's database."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The organisation however clarified that "in the past the individual (Lalit Modi) was subject of data record in Interpol's database, yet the data was later cancelled".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lalit Modi had fled India in 2010, after facing charges of financial irregularity in IPL. He is currently living in Britain. His extradition process is still pending.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The authenticity of the documents could not be verified as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said they had no such information yet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
CBI spokesperson R.K. Gaur told IANS "The agency is authenticating the Interpol documents."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
