New Delhi : The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Monday raided the Commonwealth Games (CWG) Organising Committee office here in connection with corruption allegations and registered two cases, officials said.
“Teams of CBI are conducting raids at the organising committee office near Jantar Mantar and the houses of several officials of the committee,” a CBI official told IANS.
The CBI has also registered cases against T.S. Darbari and Sanjay Mahindroo, who were allegedly involved in the Queen’s Baton Relay scam, the official said.
The organising committee is understood to have paid AM Films, an Indian-owned firm, over 450,000 pounds for services during the Queen’s Baton Relay function in London in October allegedly without following proper tendering procedure and paper work.
The Oct 3-14 CWG held in the capital was mired in controversy due to corruption allegations, glitches and delays.
