| IPL Scam |
India who proudly boast over its frenzy created by IPL 20-20 cricket
also carries the same of a scandal with IPL. It started when IPL
Commissioner Lalit Modi revealed that Tharoor's friend Sunanda Pushkar
had equity stakes in Rendezvous Sports World (RSW), heading the
consortium that owns the Kochi team. It was later disclosed that Pushkar
got sweat equity of the value of Rs 70 crore.
Shashi Tharoor maintained that the amount had nothing to do with his
active campaigning and mentoring for the Kochi team. This was less
convincing as he had specifically mentioned that he had no specific
gains from RSW winning Kochi Franchisee. Income Tax investigation report
into match-fixing angle in the IPL revealed Lalit Modi has interests in
three teams.
