Lalit Modi denies running, calls Indian government’s ‘long arm’ claim a mischaracterization

Lalit Modi publicly rejected claims that he is a fugitive on the run. In a statement, he said, “I’m not running at all, Indian Government has long arm.” Modi accused the Indian authorities of using a “long arm” narrative to target him. He insisted that the fugitive label is unfounded and politically motivated. The remarks came amid ongoing legal and investigative scrutiny of his activities. Indian officials have not responded publicly to his latest denial. Analysts note that the dispute highlights tensions between Modi and the government. The situation may develop further as legal proceedings continue.
