The Commonwealth Games organising committee has sought a three-month extension till September end to assist in the ongoing multi-agency probe by CBI and CVC among others into alleged irregularities in the conduct of the sporting extravaganza.

Disgraced CWG OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi, accused of irregularities in TSR scam, on Thursday tried to shift the blame for award of the contract to OC CEO Jarnail Singh insisting that he was aware of the contract and was informed at all stages of decision.

Caught in a web of corruption scandals and under intense pressure from the government, the Commonwealth Games organising committee was on Tuesday forced to form a three-member panel to probe allegations of irregular financial transactions with a little-known UK-based company.
