Lalit Modi founded the Indian Premier League in 2008 and ran the cash-rich league for three years until 2010.

IPL (Indian Premier League) founder and former chief Lalit Modi has threatened to sue former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi in a UK court over his remarks, connecting Modi with corruption and money laundering.

Modi's scathing attack on Gandhi's "Modi surname" remarks comes within days after a Surat court convicted Rahul Gandhi to a two-year sentence in the 2019 defamation case over his remarks on the Modi surname. Following the sentencing, he was disqualified as an MP of Lok Sabha. While addressing a poll rally in Karnataka's Kolar, Rahul Gandhi had said, “How come all thieves have the common surname Modi.”

Meanwhile, there has been no response on the end of Rahul Gandhi over Modi's series of tweets or his legal threat so far. The Congress has maintained that Rahul's conviction was politically motivated and that he will appeal against it in a higher court. Gandhi has been vocal about his criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government over various issues, especially crony capitalism following the Adani-Hindenburg report.
