A complaint of fund misappropriation has been filed with the Jaipur police against Lalit Modi, the president of the Rajasthan Cricket Association, on Tuesday, according to newspaper reports.

The complaint was lodged by a member of the Jaipur District Cricket Association, Anil Shekhawat, who alleged that Modi had misappropriated Rs 22 lakh. The police were examining the complaint and no FIR had been filed yet. "As we will have to contact officials of BCCI for confirmation about his complaint, and other enquiries about the funds released by the BCCI, we are yet to file an FIR," said the officer in charge of the Jyoti Nagar police station, where the complaint was lodged.

Modi, however, said there was no truth to the complaint. "It has been done with a malafide intention against me and there is no truth in it," he told PTI. "I have raised thousands of crores of rupees for RCA and BCCI. Why would I divert such a small amount of money? I know one Anil Shekhawat has filed the complaint, but have not seen the exact copy so far."
