CWG Scam unearthed || Kalmadi arrested

Congress leader Suresh Kalmadi was arrested for alleged scam worth crores of rupees during Common wealth Game - the sporting event held last October. He issued contract to Swiss company without any tender and mismanaged funds worth 141 crores, for which he was dismissed from Common wealth Game organizing committee.

Kalmadi’s two friends Surjit Lal and A. Prasad, who were in the Committee also were arrested. After last December 2010, CBI had grilled today for the 4th time and also a reverse inquiry was conducted whole day and arrested him.

Kalmadi blindly supported Swiss company for procurement of Timing Scoring Result (TSR) system wrongly. Congress notified publicly that they suspended Kalamadi due to the charge sheet and arrest. CBI framed charge of criminal conspiracy for procurement of TSR at a inflated cost from Swiss Company. The charges also include that he and his friends took care to create a monopoly for TSR logging machine and avoided suppliers of similar machineries.
