Refusing to go down without a fight, an unplugged former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi on Monday attacked his bete noire and current International Cricket Council chairman N Srinivasan and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the massive controversy surrounding him and dared the government to make the report of the Justice Mudgal committee, which probed the IPL scam, public.

In an exclusive interview with India Today TV's Consulting Editor Boria Majumdar in London, Modi asked, "Why is Srinivasan the head of the ICC anti-corruption branch?" Srinivasan, former chief of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is also the owner of IPL franchise, Chennai Super Kings.

Claiming that he is not behind the leak of the emails to the ICC in which three players were named for IPL spot-fixing, Modi said, "The BCCI leaked my mails to the ICC because of internal politics. If I had wanted to do it, I would have done so three years ago."

Modi also dared the government to make the names of those implicated by the Mudgal panel, which investigated reports of match and spot-fixing in the IPL, public. "Why have the names not been revealed? The nation wants to know."

When asked about him being a fugitive in the eyes of the Indian law, Modi said, "Please be careful while using the word. On what basis am I being called a fugitive? Is there any case pending before a court of law in India against me?"

On why he refuses to return to India and face the allegations, the 49-year-old former IPL czar said he continues to live in the UK owing to security fears. "The only thing stopping me from coming back to India is the security issue. Why did (former Finance Minister) P Chidambaram withdraw my security after I testified against Shashi Tharoor?"

Modi challenged the ED, which is investigating cases of money laundering and FEMA violations against him, to produce evidence. "I challenge the ED to produce any evidence against me," he said, claiming that he gave the ED all the papers which led them to make a case against the BCCI.

His last words? "I am not done yet. You will see more to come from me in the coming days. I am not going to take all the bullets and not fight back," he said.
