Commonwealth Games Scam: IOA Probe Panel Suspends Kalmadi aide Darbari
New Delhi Joint director General of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee T S Darbari was suspended on Thursday by the IOA probe panel after reports suggested of bad financial deals with London-based AM Films.
Joint DG (Accounts & Finance) M Jayachandran has also been suspended for financial irregularities.
It is alleged Darbari worked out deals that have been questioned in financial audits. His role has also come into question for “alleged irregularities” for services provided during the Queen's Baton Relay ceremony in London a few months ago. Darbari headed the OC's revenue and marketing units.
The Sports Ministry had recently shot off a letter to his boss and Organising Committee chairman to immediately sack Darbari. The letter, written by Sports Secretary Sindhushree Khullar to Kalmadi, stated: “With the Games just two months away, matters such as the above (the UK payments and an alleged Customs inquiry against Darbari) raise questions of probity and integrity of officers in the OC. They tarnish the image of the Games and adversely affect its credibility... I would strongly advise you that the above two officers should be immediately relieved of all their duties in the OC and the Government informed accordingly...”
Darbari is an alumnus of St Stephen's College and Britain's Hull University, from where he completed the course in Master of Business Administration. He has held various posts including those in the cabinet secretariat, the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation and the Petroleum ministry and the Union Bank of India.

Commonwealth Games: Queen's Baton reaches Kolkata
Amidst allegations of corruption in several Commonwealth Games-related projects, the Queen's Baton reached Kolkata on Sunday.
"I hope and pray that they are able to hold a prestigious tournament in a big way. Otherwise India will never manage to host another big event like Olympics," said Gurbaksh Singh, former hockey Olympian.
"This is about the prestige of our country... these fully useless officials should resign immediately," said Prasun Banerjee, a former footballer.
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party has lashed out at the central government for compromising the country's prestige and stakes.
The Central Vigilance Commission had found alleged irregularities in several Commonwealth Games related works being carried out by civic and construction agencies in the national capital.
"We are going to raise the issue of unpreparedness for the Commonwealth Games in this week itself.
There are various charges of corruption and irregularities by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), which is a senior body, which is a matter of concern," said Prakash Javdekar, BJP spokesperson , in New Delhi.
India is expecting about two million tourists in New Delhi for the Games, as well as about 10,000 athletes from 71 teams representing 54 Commonwealth member states. (ANI)
