The UK on Tuesday said it had acted “appropriately” and in accordance with rules when issuing travel documents to scam-tainted former IPL chairman Lalit Modi. “We do not routinely comment on the detail of individual cases. This case was determined in accordance with the appropriate rules,” a UK Home Office spokesperson said.
The department also confirmed that the UK’s Permanent Secretary is “satisfied” that Sarah Rapson, the Director-General of UK visas and immigration, acted “appropriately and professionally in handling this case”. Rapson was the senior official who received correspondence from MP Keith Vaz in relation to expediting paperwork for London-based Modi to be able to travel to Portugal in June last year.
The IPL founder is at the heart of a controversy which has engulfed External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj over accusations that she put diplomatic pressure on UK authorities to secure travel papers for Modi to visit Portugal.
