Vanuatu PM Orders Cancellation Of Lalit Modi’s Passport Amid Probe: ‘Attempting To Avoid Extradition’

The Prime Minister of Vanuatu has asked authorities to cancel the fresh passport issued to Lalit Modi. This comes after revelations in international media about Lalit Modi being a fugitive.

Days after former Indian Premier League (IPL) founder Lalit Modi filed an application with the Indian High Commission in London to surrender his Indian passport, Vanuatu Prime Minister Jotham Napat on Monday directed the Citizenship Commission to cancel the passport issued to Modi, saying that the fugitive was attempting to avoid his extradition.

The development comes following recent revelations in international media that the former IPL chief is wanted by Indian law enforcement agencies in connection with his alleged involvement in the embezzlement of crores of rupees during his stint as the top boss of the IPL.
