CWG scam: Ex-official’s bail plea rejected

By IANS,

New Delhi : A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court here Wednesday dismissed the bail plea of a former financial official of the Commonwealth Games (CWG) Organising Committee (OC) in a case of alleged forgery in the award of a contract.

M. Jayachandran was accused of allegedly manipulating the minutes of the finance committee related to the contract for a timing, scoring and result (TSR) system for the October 2010 sporting event.

Along with his plea, the court also dismissed the bail plea of A.K. Reddy, promoter of Hyderabad-based firm A.K.R. Constructions.

CBI Special Judge Talwant Singh said: “The bail applications of both the accused have been dismissed.”

The probe agency accused Jayachandran, OC’s former joint director general of accounts and finance, of being “guilty of wilful and repeated falsification of records” and also of not revealing the true facts about the false statement made by former OC director general V.K. Verma, regarding the budgetary provision of the TSR system contract.
