CWG is a scam that drew attention of media worldwide. The Centre announced formation of a special committee to probe into allegations of corruption and mismanagement against the Organising Committee (OC) for Delhi Commonwealth Games.
Suresh Kalmadi is the main accused who was the chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Commonwealth Games.
This scam comprised of a number of deals involving overstated contracts. He has been accused of awarding a contract to install Timing, Scoring and Results (TSR) system for the 2010 CWG to Swiss Timing at inflated rates causing a loss of over Rs 90 crore to the exchequer.
In the further investigations the CBI has alleged that Kalmadi awarded the contract to the Swiss firm at a much higher bid despite having a cheaper option.
Less than 10 days before the games, athletes were asked to move into apartments that were shabby and dilapidated.
The CBI has named eight persons including OC former Secretary General Lalit Bhanot and former Director General VK Verma as accused apart from Suresh Kalmadi.
