The 62-year-old claimed that three “hits” were ordered against him and alleged that his son was kidnapped in London. “It is one of the biggest reasons. He (Dawood) took three hits at me. Dawood himself said this. He missed three times. The reason was that I didn’t look the other way when they wanted to fix matches. They offered me hundreds of millions of dollars to look the other way. If you look at the first three years, when I ran the IPL, there was no fixing. It wasn’t liked by the mafia,” Modi told ANI.
