New Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) has clarified that the documents emailed to Shashi Tharoor were not confidential and that anybody who wanted to bid on an IPL team at last month's auction could have asked for these spreadsheets.
IPL CEO Sundar Raman has also stressed that while the documents were sent by Poorna Patel, daughter of Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel, it was Tharoor who requested them.
Poorna works for the IPL as a Hospitality Manager.
What Shashi Tharoor received were projections for the kind of business a new IPL team might do. The bottomline: not good. The math seems suspicious to many because it suggests that new franchise would not make money for ten years.
Tharoor has been forced to resign after IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi unloaded on twitter some damaging revelations: that the Kochi group's real ownership was not clear, and that Tharoor's girlfriend, Sunanda Pushkar, had got sweat equity worth 70 crores.
Both NCP ministers have been accused of inappropriate links to the IPL and have denied that they financially benefit in any way from the IPL. Patel, in fact, has told NDTV that he does not have any link to the IPL, or to cricket.
