Good news for all those who want Suresh Kalmad in jail.

The Enforcement Directorate is likely to summon sacked CWG Organising Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi and some other officials for alleged violations of forex rules during last year's Commonwealth Games.

According to sources, the ED will issue show cause notices to Kalmadi and the others to ascertain their "exact" roles in financial dealings and other decisions related to fund transfers, especially for the Queens Baton Relay that was held in London before the Games were held here.
