August 6, 2011 / By Pramod Kumar, Correspondent, DC, New Delhi.

The CBI, probing various cases in the conduct of the Commonwealth Games (CWG), is likely to register at least 10 more FIRs based on the findings of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG)’s report on the CWG, tabled in Parliament on Friday.

The agency has also decided to convert its preliminary enquiry (PE), registered to probe irregularities in awarding contract (worth `71.8 crores) related to the appointment of a Switzerland-based company as technical consultant for the games, into a regular case, sources said. Besides, the CBI, which is already probing irregularities in “overlays” contracts (worth `640 crores), has decided to send letter of requests (LRs) to authorities concerned in Switzerland, France and Hong Kong to get details about certain overseas companies.

A high-ranking official of the agency said, “The CAG report on CWG, which has been tabled in Parliament, is now being analysed by the CBI officials. The CAG, in its report, has highlighted apparent irregularities in certain contracts, which need to be probed by the CBI.” On the basis of new evidence which has emerged following the CAG report, the agency is likely to register at least 10 more cases, sources added.

The Central Vigilance Commission will give some more fresh cases to CBI to probe alleged criminal conspiracy and graft by certain government employees in carrying out Commonwealth Games-related projects.

Sources in the country's anti-corruption body said that its Chief Technical Examination wing has zeroed in on at least three-four cases where large scale financial and administrative irregularities have been noticed.

"A meeting with CBI officials is scheduled later next week. We will be giving them three-four cases to CBI with a request to register a preliminary enquiry into them to probe alleged irregularities," a senior CVC official said requesting anonymity.

He said irregularities like cost escalation and meddling with official documents to favour private contractors have been noticed by the CVC.

"The cases involve certain senior government officials working in both Central and Delhi Government departments. The final call, whether a PE has to be registered or not, will be taken by the CBI officials," he said refusing to divulge further details on the names of officials and offices.
