Home Minister P. Chidambaram said his department is committed to cooperating fully with investigators, providing information related to ticketing and accreditation for the international sporting event.
"If we are asked about what went wrong by the appropriate inquiring authorities, certainly Delhi police and the [ministry] will provide inputs," he said Saturday, according to Doordarshan.
India had never before hosted the Commonwealth Games, held every four years between nations of the former British empire. This year's event, which ended Thursday, was an opportunity for the South Asian nation to shine as an emerging power on the global stage.
