A Court in Delhi has ordered that charges of forgery, cheating and conspiracy must be framed against Suresh Kalmadi, the sacked CWG organising committee chairman and some other officials.

Special CBI judge Talwant Singh has ordered framing of charges against Kalmadi, former OC secretary general Lalit Bhanot and nine other officials for awarding a Games related contract to Swiss firm, Swiss Timing Omega. The contract caused huge losses to the government.

The court said in the ruling that charges of cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy and for offences under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act should be made against eight persons as well as three companies involved in the graft case.

"Charges under section 120B criminal conspiracy, 201 destruction of evidence, 420 cheating, 467, 468, 471 relating to forgery, 506 criminal intimidation of the IPC and section 13(1)(d) read with section 13(2) criminal misconduct by public servants of the PC Act is ordered to be framed against all the accused," the court said in the ruling.

Other officials accused in the case are OC's director general VK Verma, director general for Procurement, Surjit Lal, joint director general for Sports, ASV Prasad and treasurer M Jayachandran. It is to be noted that none of these officials are associated with the sporting body any longer.
