No way, he is a survivor and has too much dirt on all the politicians. On the most it will be a small hit on the knuckles.
Shadow of Pawar - President/commissioner/CEO... (or Supriya) Vice President - The Great Patriot Tharoor (or Sunanda) Office boys; Niranjan Chaiwala and Rajeev Jaaduwala Typists: Sunils and Ravis
According to information available with I-T department, Modi made advance tax payment of little over Rs 19 lakh in 2007 which went up to Rs 2.5 crore in 2008, when IPL's first edition was launched.
In 2009, when IPL shifted to South Africa, Modi paid just Rs 32 lakh as advance tax and this year it shot up to Rs 11 crore.

The most stoopid argument the IT people have put up. He has paid taxes yaar unlike the Mayawati's and Lallo's who dont... Anyway this guy is too clever to be put behind bars. he has enough political patronage....
Everyone thought IPL was a govt sponsored tamasha. The way the 'offical' group torpedoed the 'rebel' ICL (who brought in the idea in the first place) gave an impression that everything will be perfectly administered since BCCI is helming IPL.
But not it turns out that there was no transparency or accountability and nobody knows who owns some of the franchises that have some stars as their public faces. Add to it charges of tax evasion, involvement of black money and betting racket.
Govt has a lot of explaining to do why this was allowed to happen for 3 seasons in a row.
The proponents of IPL claim, that this event has created INR 4000 Cr. of value. However, I feel this is inaccurate and a flawed economic model.
IPL creates value, by giving advertisers a new medium (opportunity) and sales of tickets. In the first and only two seasons thus far, advertiser response has been superlative. However, this is IMHO, like stuffing the supply pipeline, advertisers are reaching out to our cricket crazy masses using this new, impactful media. However, there are no studies available yet, (to the best of my knowledge) indicating the impact of IPL advertisement on sales or even brand recall of advertised products / brands / categories. Also IPL is not creating a hitherto non existing demand, like cell phones or ITES earlier, it is grabbing eyeballs from alternate sources of entertainment and hence advertisement, like TV serials.

Secondly, ticket sales. I find the tickets priced unrealistically and strongly doubt if there are any great ticket sales. However, media like ticket sales can very easily lend themselves to becoming high quality money laundering vehicles. As a purely hypothetical example, without an iota of truth or evidence to back it up, just for better understanding, let us assume, there is massive, unimaginable corruption in the basic foodgrains and agricultural products sector in India. Suppose, for a moment, that the prices of Dal @ Rs. 90 per Kg, have actually not increased because more Americans are suddenly having Maaki-Dal, but rather some powerful corrupt person is scamming to increase prices and earning say Rs. 1000 Cr. in the bargain. How does one account for this money, as it is purely black money. One of the best ways is to show sales of tickets, especially high value tickets, even though there is no real sale taking place, pay the nominal tax that IPL is subject to and convert the black money to newly minted white money.
However, this is just hypothetical, I'm sure there is no corruption anywhere. Food prices have increased because of global increase in food prices, since we import Daal, Rice, Wheat, Maize, Bajra, Gram etc. along with crude oil, maybe from Saudi Arabia itself (did not know it was such an Agragarian powerhouse) and millions of Indians are actually buying IPL tickets at a measely Rs. 1000/- per head.
So the C Company ( Caangreis) finds one tiny little scape goat in Lalit Modi to take revenge on -because he is the whistle blower for exposing Tharoor.
For gods sake - he is not a khadi walla but a brilliant salesman and BCCI is a company!!
And who launches the attack ? The same IT dept whose folk will never-never take bribes. Why only now ? Why not before? Why not raid any other business/ poliuticians like Mayawati , Mulayam and Diggy Singh? Why dilute the fodder scam?
BCCI is a private company who has an audited balance sheet. IPL is a department of BCCI and same auditors covered it.
Lalit Modi and has right to induct relatives if Directors of BCCI allow it - just like Birla and Ambani.
Betting on horse races is legal so cricket is only a matter of time.
Finally it reminds me of the IITian Satyendra Dubey who was killed for exposing mafia.

Jaggu, don't use emotions as an excuse for dumbness.
Sateyndra Dubey, exposed a scam, in building roads (Golden Quadrilateral), our nations lifeblood, being built on tax payers money.
Lalit Modi, exposed sweat equity being allocated to a minister's girlfriend in a privately owned company, in the absolutely shady business of IPL.
Please do not mix the two, intentionally or otherwise. Lalit Modi is a crass low life, Satyendra Dubey was an Engineer from IIT and a patriot.
Secondly, don't bullshit that congress is getting even with Modi for screwing around with a non - entity like Shashi Twitteroor. The IPL is the dream of the century for corrupt people (please see my post above) and Congress wants in on it. Lalit Modi has played into Congress' hands, apparently.
