CWG graft cases: CBI files charges against six
August 22nd, 2012 - 10:27 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Aug 22 (IANS) The CBI has filed a charge sheet against six accused in two graft cases related to the Queen’s Baton Relay ceremony in London ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games (CWG) in New Delhi, an officer said Wednesday.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) named in the charge sheet three joint directors belonging to the organising committee of the CWG — Sanjay Mohindroo, T.S. Darbari and M. Jayachandran — one director of a London-based transport firm, Ashish Patel, and his two private firms AM car & Van Hire and AM Films.
The charge sheet filed last week said that “in order to justify the allotment of the work to Ashish Patel’s company, the accused officials prepared various forged documents”.
The probe agency said that these officials did not follow the standard tendering process and instead favoured Patel’s company. All the accused are at present out on bail.
“The accused officials prepared fake notes on the proceedings and placed forged e-mail in support of the proposal for engagement of the London-based transport firm,” said the officer.
“They acted dishonestly and fraudulently to justify allotment of work related to first aid, additional barriers, mobile temporary toilets, power generations to the London-based transport firm at exorbitant rates,” said the officer.
