Rakesh Maria met Lalit Modi last year?
"Lalit Modi along with his lawyers came to meet me in London. Modi told me that his life was in danger. I told him clearly that I can not do anything here in London and he will have to come to Mumbai and file an official complaint about it," Maria was quoted as saying by India Today.
"I came back to Mumbai, made a confidential report regarding my meeting with Lalit Modi and what he told me and submitted the same to the then state home minister RR Patil. This is on record," the top cop added.
The fresh developments occurred at a time when Modi and top BJP leaders are engaged in a controversy over helping former IPL commissioner's application for immigration to the UK in 2011.
At the centre of a raging controversy involving the BJP bigwigs who reportedly helped him travel in Europe, Lalit Modihad earlier said he was taken to task by the former UPA government for no reason though even some ministers of that government had helped him, a claim that was denied by the leaders he named.
Besides External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje had helped former IPL commissioner's application for immigration to the UK in 2011 too, said reports.
