Lalit Modi to Visit India After Tribunal Verdict
Lalit Modi, the former boss of the Indian Premier League (IPL), is planning to visit India after 16 years.
He had to leave India a long time ago because of some money-related problems with the IPL.
A court recently said he was not responsible for those problems, so he can now visit India.
He is happy about this and wants to see his family, especially his daughter who is going to have a baby soon.
However, there might still be some legal issues waiting for him in India.
Lalit Modi is planning to visit India after 16 years of exile.
A tribunal absolved him of FEMA violations related to the 2009 IPL in South Africa.
Modi plans to visit India by the end of 2026 or early 2027.
He expressed happiness about the tribunal's verdict and his upcoming visit.
Modi's daughter is expecting a child in October 2026.
