NEW DELHI: With the stink of corruption in several Commonwealth Games projects rising high, anti-corruption agencies of the government -- Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) -- are keeping a hawk's eye on the execution of schemes whose expenditure has far exceeded estimates.
While CVC has confirmed that it is probing the projects, sources in CBI and Comptroller and Auditor Genral (CAG) spoke of their growing interest in the Commonwealth Games expenditure because of mounting complaints.
Chief Vigilance Commissioner Pratyush Sinha told TOI on Wednesday that CVC was examining the bidding documents of several projects being executed by the Games Organising Committee, Delhi government as well as Sports Authority of India. Sources put the number of projects under the scanner at 14, saying with complaints pouring in, the number was likely to go up.
