Pune: A CBI team from New Delhi on Tuesday started search of former Commonwealth Games chief Suresh Kalmadi's bank lockers here, an official source said.
"We have opened two bank lockers as part of the investigations. But we do not have any details so far," an official told said.
The lockers were opened in the presence of Kalmadi's wife, but the official declined to name the banks where the operation took place or disclose what was found there.
The CBI is probing Kalmadi and other CWG officials in connection with allegations of wrongdoing in the holding of the mega-sports event last October.
Meanwhile, a Delhi court has sent Lalit Bhanot and V.K. Verma, former high ranking officials of the Commonwealth Games (CWG) Organising Committee, to 14 days' judicial custody in connection with financial lapses in a contract with a Swiss company.
Central Bureau of Investigation Special Judge Talwant Singh sent the OC's former secretary general Bhanot and former director general Verma to judicial custody till March 15.
Both Bhanot and Verma were produced before the court after the expiry of their five day police custody to which they were remanded Feb 24. The CBI did not seek further police custody.
The CBI court allowed Bhanot and Verma to carry their spectacles and medical prescriptions as per the jail manual on the counsel's request.
"Bhanot and Verma can carry spectacles and medical prescriptions to the jail. However, the medicines will be provided to them according to the jail manual," the judge said.
The CBI on February 23 arrested Verma and Bhanot, who was a key aide of erstwhile OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi, for irregularities to the tune of Rs.1.07 billion ($23 million) in a contract with the Swiss company for time-keeping equipment for the October 3-14, 2010 mega event.
