London: IPL founder Lalit Modi Sunday told TOI there was “absolutely no extradition request” pending for him from India and he is not aware of a single case against him “in any court anywhere”, reports Naomi Canton.Lalit now holds two passports – British and Vanuatu. Last year, he obtained citizenship of Vanuatu through its investment programme and surrendered his Indian passport at the Indian High Commission in London.
Still have Vanuatu passport , says Lalit
Whilst Vanuatu Prime Minister Jotham Napat directed the Citizenship Commission to later cancel the Vanuatu passport “due to revelations in the media”, Lalit said he still had it and it had never been taken away. It was “false reporting it had been taken away”, he told TOI. On his UK citizenship, he said: “I filed for it many many years ago. They had to go through due process and it took many years. It is one of the most difficult citizenships in world to get. I just got a letter from Home Office in July saying it’s approved.” He said he will either apply for OCI or might get a visa if he decides to go to India.
