The Prime Minister’s Office has suggested to Sports Ministry a probe by CBI and Enforcement Directorate into alleged irregularities in the contracts executed by Common Wealth Games Organising Committee. In its letter, the PMO has asked for probe by the agencies specifically in works carried out by Event Knowledge Services (EKS), an international private consultant, and other irregularities pointed out by the Shunglu Committee.

AIR correspondent reports, EKS was given three contracts of over 70 crore rupees by the organising committee to extend consultancy services for the venue development and management, games workforce, and games planning and project management services.

The Prime Minister had on October 25 last year appointed the high-level committee under the chairmanship of former Comptroller and Auditor General V K Shunglu to investigate and report all irregularities in executing various projects by several government agencies during the Games held October 3-14 last year.

The committee, in its report submitted to the PMO on March 28, found several discrepancies in the projects executed by the company and collusion among sacked OC Chief Suresh Kalmadi, Chief Executive Officer of CWG Federation Mike Hooper and other senior functionaries of the Games body.
