Even if its Akash Chopra, he will not reveal it! He is smart enough to avoid it...
Are you serious? Kidnap, assault? Are these things you'd want someone in charge to have done? Especially someone who never atoned for them because he ran away back to India? Do you think these things speak highly of his character? Sanz I believe you may have accidently put on some rose tinted specatcles.Ok he did something wrong 25 years ago, so what ?
One of his dealers may have pocketed some cash or one of his clients may not have paid up for the goods........hence the kidnapping and assault.From the wikipedia:
Lalit Modi was charged and pleaded guilty to possession of 400 grams of cocaine, assault and kidnapping in 1985 while he was a student at Duke University, USA. He pleaded guilty on all charges and was sentenced to two years in prison. However, he did not serve any prison time and came back to India in 1986 after being released on probation.
In 2007 a PIL was filed in Mumbai High court challenging his position in BCCI on pretext of his criminal history. Though the court refused to unseat Modi, it asked the BCCI "to implement stringent regulatory measures so that those involved in criminal cases, not just illegal drugs but other serious charges have no place in administration".
I can tell you right now that 400g of cocaine is not for personal consumption, unless you're Tony Montana packing for a year long expedition. Does this mean he can't ever go back to America? Those lucky Yanky bastards.
God I hate Modi.
I don't give a crap about drugs. That's the most ridiculous 'crime' ever.Sanz & SS......you're feeling rather good today....................to forgive a former drug dealer.
Horrible attitude there. Having near half a kilogram of coke on you is a serious offence. What if he had sold those drugs on the street? How many of those drugs that he sold would've found their way into the hands of kids? Drug dealers are part of the reason why the world is ****ed up the way that it is.I don't give a crap about drugs. That's the most ridiculous 'crime' ever.
I'm very interested in the kidnapping and assault though.....
Irrelevant - I'd be happy to have this debate with you in Off Topic if you prefer.Horrible attitude there. Having near half a kilogram of coke on you is a serious offence.

"Don(')t Forget and Forgive".Ok he did something wrong 25 years ago, so what ?
First of all, Please do not accuse me putting on 'rose tinted spectacles' . I am no fan of Modi and unlike many others do not think he is any special. IMO, He is at the right place at right time., whether it is good for Indian/World Cricket, Time will tell.Are you serious? Kidnap, assault? Are these things you'd want someone in charge to have done? Especially someone who never atoned for them because he ran away back to India? Do you think these things speak highly of his character? Sanz I believe you may have accidently put on some rose tinted specatcles.
What a moronic suggestion/Question. What has that got to do with kids. First of all he is a stranger, I wouldn't be comfortable with Gandhi around my kids. Let me tell you one thing, when it comes to my kids I do not trust anyone except their mother (and my wife), not even friends, not even my blood relatives.Let me put it his way, now you know that would you be totally comfortable with him around your kids?
Oh my freaking God, Now the imperialists of the world who looted and plundered the whole world for 100s of years, committed genocides after genocides are going to claim that they are the new leaders of Justice in the modern world. Please do not even get me started on this.P.S. if he'd committed those offences in the UK there is no way in hell he wouldn't have served time, unlike the good old US Justice system.
I know what you are suggesting, but that is not a one time incident. It is happening daily in my country of Birth, besides Modi didn't kill anyone."Don(')t Forget and Forgive".
Of so first it was a Bong journo and it is a Bong player ? Why dont you give a rest to your pathetic assumptions. This individual with some authority who is feeding you this information is a moron and you are even a bigger one for believing it.Somebody says (with some authority) that the blogger is RanaDeb Bose (a pacer from Bengal who never got a chance to make in the final 11, but still with the team).
Sorry, it's a big mistake! Thanks for the info.Of so first it was a Bong journo and it is a Bong player ? Why dont you give a rest to your pathetic assumptions. This individual with some authority who is feeding you this information is a moron and you are even a bigger one for believing it.
FYI, Ranadeb Bose is playing for Kings XI and not KR.

Yeah agreed, it was a long time ago, doesn't bother me personally as long as nothing like that has reoccurred since.Ok he did something wrong 25 years ago, so what ?
Stop with the insults please.Of so first it was a Bong journo and it is a Bong player ? Why dont you give a rest to your pathetic assumptions. This individual with some authority who is feeding you this information is a moron and you are even a bigger one for believing it.

I believe its a journo who is being fed info by a member of the team and it could be anyone a player or backroom staff.Somebody says (with some authority) that the blogger is RanaDeb Bose (a pacer from Bengal who never got a chance to make in the final 11, but still with the team). I already have 2 guesses . But this one is a little more convincing.
I also think there's a chance;
reasons:
1) the details in the introductory blog match to him most, than Akash
2)DADA supporter
2) Most of the comments are on pace bowlers.
3) He was heard to be making such frustrated comments, before, on BCCI for spoiling his career. ( This frustration may be reason for envying Sreesanth (using abusive nick-name only to him, while he is not even playing)).
(but i'm not sure about his grip in this style of writing. )
Besides I am not denying that he didn't do any of that, he probably did as do many kids when they are young, they recognize their mistake, learn from it and do better things in life. I am all for giving second chances in life.
Upon analyzing, I feel RDB is more probable than anyone else.FYI, Ranadeb Bose is playing for Kings XI and not KR.
