The ‘hawala’ transaction is becoming the most favoured mode of converting black money to white money.

For the first time, the probe agencies are believed to have found evidence to directly link sacked chairman of the Organising Committee (OC) Suresh Kalmadi with “deliberate” delays in awarding of contracts related to the Commonwealth Games. The Central probe agencies have held him responsible for deliberate delays in awarding of contracts related to catering worth `66.59 crores to an Australian firm, Delaware North, and installation of the kitchen equipment to PKL London.

The Central probe agencies, including the CBI, have taken serious note of the appointment of 35 advisers by the top brass of the Organising Committee (OC) in different fields in connection with the Commonwealth Games (CWG) and are investigating further to ascertain the circumstances under which they were appointed. The probe has revealed that the advisors, though being paid a hefty sum every month or on every visit, did not even submit monthly reports to the OC. The OC has already been facing several allegations of irregularities regarding appointments of foreign consultants and paying them at a heavy price.

Probe by the Central agencies has revealed mismanagement of a total of `450 crores allegedly by the members of the Organising Committee (OC) of the Commonwealth Games (CWG) in conduct of the mega sporting event. The OC, headed by Suresh Kalmadi, was granted a total of `1,813 crores by the Central government for the smooth conduct of the Games.

The CBI probe into the alleged irregularities in overlays contracts has revealed that certain “foreign nationals” allegedly played the role of middlemen between the Organising Committee members and the overseas firms whose Indian consortiums had bagged the contracts.

The government is all set to ask the top brass of the Organising Committee (OC), which is facing several corruption charges, to step down from the posts they are holding.
Apart from facing corruption charges, the OC top brass has been reportedly refusing to sign some of the important documents leading to delays in clearing of payments

The CBI, which is probing various cases of corruption in the conduct of the Commonwealth Games, has now started scrutinising email details of the top brass of the Organising Committee (OC). The agency is likely to make some “significant arrests” in connection with its probe related to the CWG very soon.

Though it was always suspected, the CBI is pretty close to establishing the “evidence” that the same module or set of operators could be behind the Mecca Masjid and Ajmer dargah blasts of 2007.
