The other two arrested Organising Committe officials Surjeet Lal, Deputy Director General (Procurement), and A S V Prasad, Joint Director General (Sport), were also remanded in CBI custody till May 4th by Special CBI judge Talwant Singh.
The CBI had arrested Kalmadi, Lal and Prasad on Monday for allegedly awarding illegal contracts to a Swiss firm for Timing-Scoring-Result system for the New Delhi commonwealth Games causing a loss of Rs 95 crore to the exchequer.
The agency had sought 14 days custody of 66-year-old Kalmadi and his associates contending that they have to be interrogated to unearth the money trail in the scam. The agency had submitted that Kalmadi and his associates were not cooperating with the investigators and have been evasive in responding to the questions.
Kalmadi’s arrest has come weeks after his close aide and Organising Committee Secretary General Lalit Bhanot and Director General V K Verma were taken into custody in the same case.
