CVC report on CWG graft by March end
The Central Vigilance Commission has found sufficient documentary evidence against certain Delhi government officials in alleged irregularities in executing a number of contracts during the Commonwealth Games. The CVC report is likely to be completed by March end, which will be handed over to the CBI later.
Sources have pointed out that the Delhi government had floated tenders to buy items like stretchers, ultrasound therapy machines, wheelchairs, trolley beds and short-wave diathermy machines (used to cure muscle and tissue injuries) among others for the mega-sporting event from contractors at allegedly inflated rates.
The inquiry is being undertaken by the Chief Technical Examination Wing of the Commission and they are looking into tender documents, payment bills, inventory records and papers related to the eligibility criteria of the vendors chosen to supply the equipment.
“The CVC officials have found many discrepancies in the award of the contracts and felt that the CVC must conduct a direct probe to assess the wrongdoing in the run up to the sporting event held here in October 2010,” said sources.
