CWG scam: CBI summons Kalmadi for questioning

NEW DELHI - The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi to appear before it for questioning in connection with the alleged irregularities in the conduct of the 2010 sporting extravaganza.

According to reports, the investigating agency is likely to quiz Kalmadi on January 3, 2011.

The CBI summons to Kalmadi follows the interrogation of his key aide Lalit Bhanot and political advisor Manoj Bhore on Tuesday.

The investigating agency reportedly grilled the duo to throw some light on details about Kalmadi’s role in bungling of funds, and in connection with the case involving UK-based A M Films.

The CBI last Friday conducted raids at Kalmadi”s home and offices in Delhi, Mumbai and Pune, as part of its ongoing investigations into the multi-crore sporting extravaganza.

The raids were conducted in the wake of reports that some crucial documents related to Commonwealth Games deals have gone missing. (ANI)
