He is currently married to Minal, who he met while he was a student in the US and she was already married and a friend of his mother. She was nine years his senior and was then living in London with her family. Minal got a divorce, and she and Lalit were married in Mumbai despite his family’s initial disapproval.[8]
Modi has had two children named Ruchir and Aliya from his marriage with Minal. Son Ruchir lives in Mumbai with Modi and studies at the American School of Bombay. Aliya currently studies in Switzerland. Minal has a daughter named Karima from her earlier marriage. Karima is married and lives in London presently. Karima has a daughter named Arya.[8]
Lalit and his family sometimes travel in a private 13-seat Bombardier Challenger 300 jet.[10] He claims to have purchased it in 2008 for $20 million (Rs. 96 crore) but the DNA (newspaper) has reported that the aircraft is owned by somebody else, and its Rs. 3 lakh/hour operating fees are paid for by the IPL

Nothing wrong in getting married with the person of your choice other than the fact that she was already married...Would you ask a married girl to marry you? Nothing wrong in buying a plane other than the fact that it's owner's identity not known and it's fees are paid by IPL while the plane is used for personal purpose. Just wait and see the true color of Modi..
ICC should ban this monster called BCCI to this game. As long as BCCI is there, this game is destroyed. We would prefer to be the richest cricketing talent in the world rather than the richest cricketing board. The game of pure cricket has been killed by these power hungry monsters. Pitches are dead, talents are below average and only money is spinning. This is like watching Ferrari run at 100 miles per hour and promoting it as the world's fastest car and making money from the hype!
Once Imran Khan said "With all due respect Sachin is great player but he is never a match winner". Yesterday Sachin proved once again that although he is great player but what is the use of 20 years expereince when time comes you cannot make proper plan. There are so many faults one can easly point out like, batting order, you have wasted Polard, Your very first over got maiden, where the target is 160 ,your own performance is ball to ball, saurabh was man of the match in semi but you dropped his order also, the same pitch where all your top oerder strugling Pollard bombarded to Bolinger. Sorry Mr.SAchin, it was you who dissapointed MI yesterday.

Right..Initially Kapil's IPL was big..Modi used BCCI and banned them so that his IPL will be bigger..Now he is gone..A new guy will come and take over IPL. Everything will be as usual..
On March 1, 1985, while a sophmore at Duke University, Modi was arrested on charges of conspiracy to traffic cocaine and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. On April 2, 1985, Modi and another student were indicted on second-degree kidnapping, a misdemeanor charge of assault inflicting serious injury and conspiracy to kidnap.[12] Modi pleaded guilty to the crime when the case was heard in the Durham County court, North Carolina and later entered a plea bargain, which resulted in a suspended two year prison sentence.[13] Modi moved the court again in 1986 after he graduated from Duke University, he sought permission to move to India on health grounds. The court ordered: "As a fact the defendant has been hospitalized. His doctors indicate that a return to his home in India would facilitate his recovery… The said probation be modified to unsupervised probation. As a condition, the defendant is to perform 200 hours of community service by 1990. He may return to his home
There is no doubt that BCCI is the highest corrupt sporting body in the world. It is owned by a group of most corrupt people in India (read politicians, businessman, coroprates, cricketers etc.). BCCI & Co. is simply looting general masses through its corrupt practices

Simple solution, ICC should ban BCCI for permanent just like the way they dealt with Zimbabwe.
If Govt is honest,all currupt persons in BCCI should be arrested, ban this business cricket and concentrate on issues like Naxalites,Terrorist,development, unemployment,political reforms.Last two months when country was burning, we were kept busy in watching fixed cricket
Re: Ban BCCI

When the government itself is corrupt, why will they ban BCCI? ICC should ban this monster called BCCI to be banned forever and never raise its ugly head again. They have been selling gold plated jewels are the real gold! The talents and the pitches in India have fallen to a disasterous low. On top of it, corruption and bull dozing other cricketing countries! BCCI has to be put under cold storage forever.
BCCI is cornering Modi and Modi is not ready to get cornered. BCCI asked Modi to come at 10 am for the meeting and when Modi accepted, BCCI has suspended him asking him to just reply to their reply to their questions!
BCCI claims Modi got monetary benefits from KKR, KXIP and RR. Was it from 2008 itself or only in 2010? This is an attrocious comment and BCCI has to come up with some answers like:
1. Didnt they know this before? 2. If No, how did they know it now? 3. If Yes, why were they mum till now? 4. Will KKR, RR and KXIP be knocked out of further IPLs just like Modi because even they were a part of this scam? 5. And will the current BCCI board be clean bowled because they themselves are part of this scam?
Where is Jethmalani? Probably, he can provide some clues to this distraught cricket management of both BCCI and IPL! Maybe, ICC can ban such corrupt organizations and put them into cold storage till the next ICE AGE!
How IPL's financial wrongdoings passed the scrutiny of BCCI auditors for 3 years in a row. Surely there is more to it than what meets the eyes. How can an individual hide a ‘scandal’ of such magnitude? why was the so called honest government in deep slumber for more than 3 years? Secondly, why is the probe restricted to just the sources and routes of the funding, why not on the ‘involvement of politicians’ in the IPL
IPL has no link with sports. It is the IPL night parties (or after-parties), where players and public (ones ready to splurge money), jig to the DJ’s tune till wee hours
They did swoop on TELECOM offices also and now silently buried as UPA needs DMK support
