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.
