Arun Jaitley and
Jyotiraditya Scindia had detailed the alleged irregularities that Modi committed from the time the IPL's governing council approved the draft of the Invitiation to Tender (ITT) in December 2009 -- for adding two more teams to the league - to Modi's eventual suspension in April 2010.
