latest news on the great Indian IPL cricket scam by author of IPL GATE, Flynn Remedios

IPLgate: IPL officials destroying data on laptops, servers.

IPL officials, secretaries, managers and others are on “Operation Clean-up”, say sources. But they are not cleaning the cricket body of the scamsters and wheeler-dealers. Instead, they are destroying crucial evidence, lest it should fall into the hands of the authorities. 

According to Flynn Remedios, author of IPLgate – the mother of all cricket scams (iplgate.wordpress.com and ghotala.wordpress.com), secretaries, managers and officials have begun deleting emails and clearing the trash cans on their laptops, desktops and even computers at home. IT (Information Technology) engineers have been told to clear the cache and trash on servers, lest it lands in the hands of the government, says Flynn Remedios. This follows the leaking of crucial emails to the media including an email sent from NCP politician, bigwig and industrialist Praful Patel’s secretary to former MOS Shashi Tharoor.

 The email sent by Praful Patel’s secretary Champa Bharatwaj is a spread sheet document according to TV reports. Praful Patel obtained the mail via his daughter who works for Lalit Modi at the IPL office. Apparently Patel asked Modi to forward him the email which was then forwarded by his secretary to Shashi Tharoor. Vijay Mallaya relative also works for Lalit Modi at the IPL office, reports have claimed.

 Meanwhile IPL governing council member Mansur Ali Khan “Tiger” Patudi  has demanded that that Lalit Modi must step down. This follows a news report by CNN IBN that Lalit Modi may move the Bombay High Court praying for a stay on the meeting called by the BCCI on the 26th April 2010.

 The scandal broke loose when Lalit Modi tweeted on Twitter releasing the shareholding pattern of the Kochi franchisee in which Shashi Tharoor’s special lady friend Sunanda Pushkar had a stake of Rs 70 crore. Praful Patel today confirmed that he had helped Shashi Tharoor with the valuation of the Kochi cricket team. But an NCP spokesperson said that Patel did not wrong and the documents were all in public domain.

The question remains that if the documents were in public domain, why did a MOS like Shashi Tharoor require Praful Patel to send it to him. He could have asked Lalit Modi for the documents directly. The documents were sent to Tharoor two days prior to the Kochi bid.
