New Delhi: The CBI has summoned Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (OC) chief Suresh Kalmadi to appear before it for interrogation relating to alleged irregularities in the conduct of the Commonwealth Games (CWG).
CBI sources said Kalmadi has been served a notice, and the agency has taken necessary permission from the Lok Sabha Secretariat as the OC head is member of the House.
Sources add that Kalmadi will be interrogated after January 3, 2011, and that the OC chairman will be asked to clarify certain contracts given to foreign firms for carrying out overlays work, alleged misappropriation of funds meant for various activities and Queen's Baton Relay in London last year among other things.
Last week on Friday, the CBI launched simultaneous raids at Kalmadi's home and offices in Delhi, Mumbai and Pune as part of its ongoing investigations into the multi-crore Games scam. The CBI has also filed three FIRs in connection with alleged irregularities in the Games.
They said CBI officials have found sufficient evidence of criminal conspiracy by unidentified OC officials in tampering with documents and manipulating information in them.
