Former chairman of the Organising Committee (OC) Suresh Kalmadi is likely to be named as an accused in the CBI’s chargehseet related to the agency probe into the result update system of the Commonwealth games. This will be the CBI’s first chargehseet, to be filed either on Friday or Saturday, related to the agency’s probe into the CWG cases.
According to sources the CBI probe has revealed that accused OC officials had allegedly conspired with the representatives of the private firm in Switzerland and contract for the Time, Scoring and Result (TSR) system was awarded by wrongfully restricting and eliminating competition in a planned manner. The OC officials who have been arrested by the CBI in connection with TSR case, include Kalmadi, former secretary general, Lalit Bhanot and former director-general (finance) V.K. Verma.
“Probe by the agency has also revealed that the accused OC officials even ignored the advise given by international consultants, appointed by the OC, while awarding contract to Swiss Timing,” sources said.
