The investigation wing of the Income Tax Department has sought call detail records (CDRs) of the last six months of a landline number at the IPL office as it feels that the entries could throw more light on Lalit Modi’s association with the promoters of franchises – new and old.
The request to a Mumbai-based private telecom service provider cites “urgent circumstances” to get records of the number which the department thinks was used for conference calls as well as with political leaders within and outside IPL.
A CDR contains details of each call, including the number making it, the number receiving it, date, time and duration. Sources said these would be matched with Modi’s mobile record and numbers from Modi’s computer.

What was the Deptt. doing all these days, Sir? Is the IT deptt./CBDT clear about the “legal status” of IPL? Is it a separate juristic entity, independent of the BCCI? Can the Deptt show the courage of serving any notice on BCCI, a handmaid of a most powerful central cabinet minister having ho;d over the entire Maha. politics (and economics of its sugar coops.)? Was it not a former Chairman of CBDT, who was a CA himself (and got very lucrative post-superannuation appointments)who had given clean chit to BCCI in the then on-going investigations by threatening officers of the IRS?
I would like to know the “person” on whom, and in what capacity vis-a-vis BCCI/IPL, the mighty IT deptt. is serving toothless notices? Can it successfully, legally and constructively treat IPL as such as a taxable entity? Does it have a corporate entity? Can it execute documents on its own? Who are its constituents/stake-holders? Are the present authorities (all benamies of one powerful person or another) above board, so as to deem them unaware of/not in the knowledge of all the murky goings-on in the IPL over the last few years ever since its inception, primarily to launder black money into bankable white/accounted money? Didn’t IT Deptt./CBDT/FINMIN/the former Rev. Sec. know all this/enjoy the hospitality of IPL’s real owners? Or that, this has all along been the laundry for the drug cartels, film industry’s black money, corrupt bureaucrats’/all politicians’ or their cohorts’ or close “friends'” unaccounted money outside the regular channel.
One cannot really believe that oyr top bureaucrats are so childishly naive or spastic.
So, what is the real story and when will it break?
Or, is the media also equally interested/tainted? Otherwise, how can the top mandarins of the media can manage for themselves packages of 20-50 crores per annum and with a grwth at exponential rate?
Please help and enlighten your readers/admirers, Sir.
