Taking a tough stand, the Centre on Monday sacked
Commonwealth Games Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi and his close
aide Lalit Bhanot for trying to “intimidate witnesses and hamper
investigations” being undertaken by the CBI into the multicrore CWG scam. While
Mr. Bhanot has been removed as OC secretary-general, Mr. Kalmadi has been
shunted out of the executive board also, three months after the sporting
extravaganza ended. The CBI, which has registered three first information
reports in the scam, is probing financial irregularities allegedly committed in
the run-up to the Games and in award of contracts.
