Mumbai: The Indian cricket board said Wednesday it had acted according to rules while expelling former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi last year and suspending the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) Tuesday.

The RCA was suspended hours after Modi, also a former vice-president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), was declared elected its president by Supreme Court appointed observers in Jaipur. The elections were held Dec 19 and last week the Supreme Court gave the green signal to declare the results.
