"IPL 7 and current upcoming CL should be put on hold till full and complete cleansing of Bcci and IPL is done. One cannot continue to take fans for a ride," Modi wrote on his twitter handle.
In another sensational twist in the IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal, Delhi Police today claimed that Rajasthan Royals' owner Raj Kundra had "admitted" to placing bets on his own team through a bookie who is also his business partner.
"Just woke up to flurry of new activities - Rule is simple if an owner in involved in betting - he should be terminated.
"The rules on this have no ambiguity. Betting is a no no," Modi said.
Police have confiscated Kundra's passport to ensure that he does not leave the country during investigations.
Players S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandela and Ankeet Chavan were arrested on charges of spot-fixing during the recently-concluded IPL after which they were sacked by Rajasthan Royals.
