Allegations of corruption in Delhi Commonwealth Games

The Comptroller and Auditor General has ordered the investigations into several  projects related to the Delhi Games the day after the closing ceremony.

“The audit work for the Commonwealth Games is related to work payments, contracts and leasing of sports equipment among others,” the official news agency said.

The panel of investigators headed by a former chief of the CAG will submit its report to the Prime Minister by January.

According to an Indian newspaper, the panel will delve into “the organisation and conduct of the Games, fix responsibility for the alleged irregularities and also prepare a dossier on the lessons learnt for future events.”
