The central bureau of investigation (CBI) Thursday got two more days to interrogate M Jayachandran, a former Common Wealth Games (CWG) official involved in the alleged financial misappropriation during the Queen’s Baton Rally in London last year. Special CBI judge AS Yadav ordered that the accused be sent to the CBI custody till November 27. He observed that to complete the interrogation, it was required to interrogate the accused further.

Justice Yadav, along with extending Jayanchandran’s police custody, also remanded TS Darbari and Sanjay Mahendroo, the other two former CWG officials and accused in the case to judicial custody after the CBI informed the court that it had completed the duo’s interrogation. They have been sent to Tihar jail for 13 days.

The court also allowed a medical examination of TS Darbari as desired by him before being sent to the custody again.

Darbari today also moved a bail plea which the court will hear on November 30. The CBI has been issued a notice to reply on the plea.

It is alleged that as part of the empowered committee of the CWG, Darbari forged emails and accepted gratifications while he was in charge of holding the QBR. The CBI has lodged two separate cases against the three CWG officials, one under sections 468 (forging court records and public documents), 471 (misusing the forged documents and showing them genuine). They have been booked under section 120 of the Indian Penal Code and Prevention of Corruption Act also which pertains to criminal conspiracy.

CBI had informed the court that the trio was involved in wrongly awarding the work of supplying the cars to one M/s. AM car. Similarly, the investigating agency is also looking into the allegations that the officials entered into criminal conspiracy and awarded work to one Van Hire Limited on the basis of forged documents. The contracts related to the events of the QBR and allegedly the firms made substantial illegal monetary gains.

The CBI had submitted to the court that the trio are highly connected and were non cooperative during the interrogation. Whereas Darbari, after the last hearing on Monday, while being led away from the courtroom had accused that the CBI did not dare to go after “high and mighty” involved in the Rs 200-crore scam.
