CWG scam: ED to summon Kalmadi for violation of forex rules
March 22nd, 2011 - 7:57 pm ICT by ANINew Delhi, Mar 22 (ANI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is likely to summon former Commonwealth Games (CWG) Organising Committee (OC) Chairman Suresh Kalmadi and other officials for alleged violations of forex rules during the conduct of the 2010 sporting extravaganza.
According to reports, the probe agency is expected to issue show cause notices to Kalmadi and the others to ascertain their ‘exact’ roles in financial dealings and other decisions related to fund transfers, especially for the Queens Baton Relay (QBR) that was held in London before the Games were held.
The Enforcement Directorate had registered a case for violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) last year during the course of its investigation into the alleged corruption in the run-up to the Games.
The probe agency has also filed a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
It has also questioned several officials as part of its probe into the 2010 Games. (ANI)
