PTI | November 15, 2010



Registering its first case in alleged irregularities in Commonwealth Games, CBI today filed two separate cases involving UK-based A M Films and former officials of CWG Organising Committee on charges of forgery and cheating in organising Queen's Baton Relay in London.

Immediately after registering the cases, the CBI carried out searches at four places in the national capital region including office of CWG Organising Committee, agency officials said.

The searches were conducted at the residence of sacked joint director general T S Darbari, deputy director-general Sanjay Mahendroo and Raj Singh, a Director level officer in the OC, the officials said.

Darbari and Mahendroo were suspended initially after reports of scam started appearing in the media. Both the officials were sacked later.

Widening its probe into alleged violations of the country's forex laws in the run up to the Commonwealth Games, the Enforcement Directorate may now summon Secretary General of Organising Committee Lalit Bhanot.

Official sources said the ED, which has so far questioned four senior officials connected with the Games over alleged forex violations in awarding of overlays contracts and the Queen's Baton relay held in London last year, will now focus on other players in the OC with the first likely to be Bhanot.

The sources said the ED had almost completed its inspection of documents relating to the Games and had questioned OC Director General V K Verma, former treasurer Jayachandran, former Joint Director General T S Darbari and former Deputy Director General Sanjay Mohindroo.
