It was BCCI, which had made a winning bid of ₹1.5 crore for Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra's javelin when Prime Minister Narendra Modi's collection of mementos was e-auctioned last year, a Cricket Board official told PTI on Friday.
Chopra had presented one of his javelins to Modi when Prime Minister hosted Indian athletes after the Tokyo Games.
The javelin was part of many items that were presented during the e-auction, the proceeds of which went to 'Namami Gange Programme'.
