Commonwealth Games Probe

Commonwealth Games gold medallist wrestler Babita Phogat has joined the oversight committee formed to probe the various allegations against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

The Delhi High Court has asked a nodal officer to keep a check on violation of lockdown guidelines and social distancing norms by the residents of Commonwealth Games Village (CWGV) near Akshardham Temple and report it to the authorities concerned.

Nine years after the Commonwealth Games (CWG) were held in India, the Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday said it has attached assets worth Rs 94.24 lakh of a company, which was involved in the renovation of two stadiums in New Delhi, under a money laundering law.

Just hours before the opening ceremony, Australian state police said they had launched a criminal probe after a complaint was made overnight.

The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) on Monday summoned an unidentified national association, believed to be India, for a meeting with its medical commission following the discovery of syringes at the Gold Coast Games Village.

The Indian team denied any wrongdoing or that the syringes were even in their rooms.

The Central Vigilance Commission has declined to share details on cases of alleged corruption in execution of the multi-crore Commonwealth Games related projects in Delhi, saying it will "disproportionately divert" its resources.

Indian Olympic Association has ordered an inquiry into charges of drunken driving and sexual assault against its secretary Rajeev Mehta and wrestling referee Virender Malik.

Pointing at yet another purported scam under the Sheila Dikshit regime, Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government has asked its Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) to probe alleged irregularities worth Rs 184 crore in the construction of the Ring Road bypass ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

Arvind Kejriwal's government has ordered for an FIR or First Information Report to be filed against former chief minister Sheila Dikshit for her alleged role in a scam linked to the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, sources say.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today questioned sacked Commonwealth Games (CWG) organising committee chief Suresh Kalmadi and recorded his statement in connection with its probe into alleged money laundering in the run up to the 2010 sporting extravaganza.

Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit wrote a letter, dated March 28, 2011, to Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, making an angry defence in the Commonwealth Games scam case and slamming the report of the Shunglu Committee which probed alleged irregularities in organising the event.

On Tuesday morning, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stepped up the ante in the CWG war of words, blaming Congress president Sonia Gandhi for Suresh Kalmadi's appointment as the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee chairman. On Tuesday evening, senior BJP man Arun Jaitley sought to make clear that it was not a personal attack.

The CBI is all set to file fresh cases connected with the Commonwealth Games held in Delhi last year.And for the first time, the focus has shifted from the games Organising Committee (OC) boss Suresh Kalmadi to the Delhi government, specifically its Public Works Department (PWD) which is under Raj Kumar Chauhan - a close aide of Chief Minister Shie...

The embattled former chief of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (OC), Suresh Kalmadi, has now asked for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the Games scam."Were the government to agree to constitution of a JPC into the 2G spectrum issue it would only be fair a similar process of Joint Parliamentary Committee should go into th...
