Kalmadi: CBI should grill Dixit, Gill in CWG

February 25, 2011

Calamity Kalmadi now says the CWG officials did not act alone. The CBI should therefore question Delhi CM Sheila Dixit and former union sports minister MS Gill as well.

Here's the backgrounder.

Yesterday, the sacked chairman of the CWG Organizing Committee Suresh Kalmadi accused investigating agencies -- the CBI -- of targeting his team and demanded that Delhi chief minister Shiela Dikshit, then sports minister M S Gill and urban development minister Jaipal Reddy also be questioned.

He said, "I am surprised why only OC officials are being questioned and no government officer has been called for interrogation so far. The entire focus seems to be on OC officials who worked so hard for months to put together a very successful Games,`` Kalmadi said at the National Games venue in Ranchi.
