Lalit Modi is wanted by Indian law enforcement agencies in connection with allegations that he was involved in embezzlement of crores of rupees during his stint as the top boss of the IPL.

Shortly after Vanuatu News outlet Vanuatu Post reported that the Prime Minister of the country, Jotham Napat, had asked the Citizenship Commission to cancel Lalit Modi's citizenship, the former IPL boss cited another news report which said that the commission would await the outcome of the court before making any decision.

In his order to the citizenship commission, Napat accused the fugitive businessman of using the South Pacific Island nation’s citizenship to evade extradition
