CWG scam: Kalmadi’s bail plea rejected (Lead)
June 6th, 2011 - 5:40 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, June 6 (IANS) A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court here Monday dismissed the bail plea of former Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (OC) chief Suresh Kalmadi, but allowed him to withdraw money from his account while in custody to meet his family’s personal expenses.
Rejecting Kalmadi’s bail application, CBI Special Judge Talwant Singh said that allegations against him were of serious nature, and that “he has caused loss to the government of India”.
“Tihar Jail authorities should allow Kalmadi to sign cheques from time to time to withdraw money,” the court added.
It also dismissed the bail plea of former OC joint director general A.S.V. Prasad, co-accused in a corruption case related to the preparations for last year’s Commonwealth Games (CWG).
The CBI May 20 filed its first chargesheet in the case against Kalmadi and 10 others, describing him as a prime accused and the mastermind in the corruption case related to financial irregularities in awarding a Rs.141 crore contract for timing, scoring and result (TSR) system for the October 2010 event.
All the 11 accused, including two companies, have been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for cheating, criminal conspiracy and forgery, and under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Kalmadi and Prasad were arrested April 26 and sent to Tihar Jail.
