NEW DELHI: Widening its probe into alleged financial irregularities in the Commonwealth Games, the Enforcement Directorate is looking at the source and gateways through which payment was made for the Queens Baton Relay in London last October.
The ED has scrutinised the bid documents that led to the awarding of the work of arranging display services to A M Films, a little-known London-based company, to which a huge sum of money was transferred through the Royal Bank of Scotland.
The agency's initial probe, including leads from the RBI, has led the ED sleuths to gather more information about the source and various channels used to transfer money to the firm.
The ED is also likely to summon other Organising Committee members like Joint Director General (F&A) M Jaychandran and Deputy Director General (Ceremonies) Sudheer Verma who are said to be the signatories to the work related to the QBR.
The directorate, probing the CWG case for alleged violations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) has already quizzed sacked Organising Committee JDG T S Darbari and suspended DDG Sanjay Mohindroo few days back.
The probe will also focus on a noting in the minutes of the meeting of the committee for evaluation of bids relating to the work of arranging display services as a part of crowd control measure during the QBR in London. The Times of India
