Fresh charges in CWG scam

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed its charge-sheet in a special CBI court on Friday in connection with alleged siphonning of funds during Queen's Baton Relay held in London in the run up to Commonwealth Games 2010.

The agency has named the Organising Committee officials T S Darbari, Sanjay Mohindroo, Jeychandran and the London-based businessman Ashish Patel and his two companies A M Car n Van Hire and A M Films in the charge-sheet.

The agency has booked the accused under the Indian Penal Code sections relating to criminal conspiracy to cheat and forgery besides violations of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

This is the second charge-sheet after Timing, Scoring and Results case out of the 18 cases registered by the agency for alleged irregularities in the Commonwealth Games.

The CBI has alleged that the Organising Committeee members conspired to award contracts of local transportation and others to Patel's firms at exorbitant rates during the event held in London in 2009.
