Lalit Modi seemed to throw some shade at India on Monday when he posted a video from Vijay Mallya’s birthday party. In the clip, Modi and Mallya joke about being the “two biggest fugitives” from India.

‘We are the biggest fugitives of India,’ jokes Lalit Modi

“We are the two fugitives, the biggest fugitives of India,” Modi says in the video. He’s the guy who started the Indian Premier League, by the way.

He captioned the post on Instagram with, “Let me do something to break the internet down again. Something for you folks. Wat your heart out with envy (sic).”

How did the Internet react? 

Back in January 2019, a special court declared Vijay Mallya a Fugitive Economic Offender under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. He’s been accused of skipping out on big loan payments and money laundering, and he left India in March 2016.

Lalit Modi took off from India in 2010 after a storm of accusations—tax evasion, money laundering, and shady deals around the IPL. The Enforcement Directorate says he rigged the process for awarding IPL broadcast rights in 2009, allegedly pocketing a kickback of over 125 crores.
