CBI raids CWG offices
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday conducted raids at several
locations in the capital in connection with overlays contracts' irregularities for the 2010 Commonwealth Games (CWG), officials said.
"Searches are being carried out, but we can't give out the names of the officials and places raided," a CBI official said.
Large scale allegations of corruption in the CWG overlays contracts - estimated to be over
Rs.600 crore - were reported after the Games concluded on Oct 14. Overlays works included the supply of tents, portable toilets and air conditioners.
Former CWG Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi's aide Shekhar Deorukhkar was
arrested on Feb 11 for his alleged role in the scam.
Earlier, the CBI had also arrested the head of event management companies Meroform India
and GL Events Beenu Nanu, senior CWG officials T.S. Darbari, Sanjay Mohindroo and M.
Jayachandran in connection with the scam. All the three of them have already been granted bail.
