Disgraced former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi has had an ongoing war with former BCCI President N Srinivasan. In this battle, he has financed Aditya Verma's petition against Srinivasan and others in the IPL spot-fixing case and even filed criminal complaints against him.


The latest salvo in the battle has seen Modi leak the offer letter of ex-Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's employment terms with Srinivasan's company India Cements.


Sharing the letter on social networking platforms Instagram and Twitter, Modi, who is now living in self-exile in London to avoid corruption charges against him, questioned the motive behind such an employment considering Dhoni earns approximately Rs 100 crore per annumm.

Modi captioned the post, "It seems only in India contempt after contempt continues by the old guards of @bcci - How ? My best guess is northblock. But most puzzling is this employment contract of MSD - WHY ? he earns 100's of crores a year will he agree to be SRINI'S employee. bet there are many such contracts."

According to the copy of the appointment letter that Modi revealed on the social media, Dhoni was hired as Vice President (Marketing) at India Cements in 2012, with a basic pay of Rs 43,000 per month, along with a dearness allowance of Rs 21,970, and also a special pay of Rs 20,000.

The document also shows that Dhoni is entitled to Rs 20,400 as house rent allowance (HRA) when he is stationed in Chennai. He also gets a special HRA of Rs 8,400, if he is in Chennai, and Rs 8,000 if elsewhere. Another special allowance of Rs 60,000 and education/newspaper expenses of Rs 175 per month have also been mentioned in the letter.
