CWG scam: Delhi High court grants bail to Darbari

New Delhi: The Delhi High court on Friday granted bail to TS Darbari, a former CWG Organising Committee official. Darbari, a close aide of OC chief Suresh Kalmadi, was arrested on November 15 for his alleged role in the Queen's Baton Relay scam.

Sources say the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had failed to file a chargesheet against Darbari in court.

During his interrogation by the CBI, Darbari had alleged that he was being persecuted to protect the big fish.

The CBI had arrested Darbari along with another Kalmadi aide Sanjay Mahendroo in connection with two cases related to contracts awarded to London-based AM Films and AM Car and Van Hire Limited at exorbitant rates.

Both Darbari and Mahendroo were initially suspended in the wake of reports of the CWG scam and later sacked.

Darbari and Mahendroo were also questioned by the Enforcement Directorate.
