Bootstrap show.bs.modal not firing

I am trying to pass the id of the element to the modal dialog. However, the event is not getting fired. I have looked at bootstrap jquery show.bs.modal event won't fire but it did not help. Here is what I do.

I build a set of links as follows.

// invitations is an array of id's retrieved from the back-end
for (var i = 0; i < invitations.length; i++) {
   var labelTxt = '<label><a href="#" data-toggle="modal" id=' + invitations[i] + ' data-target="#modalInvitation">' +  invitations[i] + '</a></label>';
   $('<div>').text($(labelTxt).appendTo('#myDiv'));
}

My modal dialog is as follows

<div id="modalInvitation" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
   <div class="modal-dialog">
      <div class="modal-content">
         <div class="modal-header">
            <h4 class="modal-title">Invite</h4>
         </div>
         <div class="modal-body">
            <button id="inviteBtn" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal">Invite</button>
         </div>
         <div class="modal-footer">
            <button type="button" class="btn" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
         </div>
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

Finally I call event, show.bs.modal as follows.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $(document).on('show.bs.modal',
        '#modalInvitation',
        function() {
            var inviteId = e.relatedTarget.id;
            alert(inviteId);
        });
});

However, the event show.bs.modal is not firing. Also referred to this Send parameter to Bootstrap modal window?

Well, there was nothing wrong with the code. While stripping the code to the bare minimum I noticed that I had 2 versions of jQuery running, like so

<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

Removing the latter solves the problem. The problem still exists if I run just the latter. Not sure why though.
