In its status report before a Delhi court, the city police said their probe has affirmed that Samir Modi, the executive director of Godfrey Phillips India Ltd (GPI) was assaulted by the personal security officer (PSO) of Bina Modi.
The police however said that a case of criminal intimidation or of criminal conspiracy cannot be made out against Bina Modi as they have so far found no evidence to conclude that Modi and Lalit Bhasin (another director at GPI) threatened Samir. The police stated that the PSO Surendra Prasad denied in writing_to have received any instruction from Bina Modi or Bhasin. While Bina Modi is a director, Bhasin is an independent director at GPI. Bina Modi and the board did not respond to a mail on the subject.
