Memorial Scam

A charge sheet was filed in a special court in Lucknow against 57 accused in the memorial scam case in which crores of rupees were allegedly siphoned of during 2007-2012 under the BSP rule with the collusion of then ministers and officials.

There are several forgettable memories associated with the Commonwealth Games as far as former CWG Organising Committee chief Suresh Kalmadi is concerned. And, interestingly, his defence in court is on similar lines. The CWG scam accused has now claimed he suffers from dementia.
