Description

Sacked CWG Organising Committee Chief Suresh Kalmadi was on Monday (April 25) arrested by CBI on charges of cheating, conspiracy and corruption in connection with awarding some Games contracts and the ruling Congress wasted no time in suspending the Lok Sabha MP. Six months after the end of the New Delhi Commonwealth Games that was mired in controversies and scams, the CBI finally closed in on 66-year-old Kalmadi, the CWG's public face, arresting him for allegedly awarding illegal contracts to a Swiss firm for Timing-Scoring-Result (TSR) system for the Games causing a loss of Rs 95 crore to the exchequer. TIMES NOW's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami debates the issue with Rahul Mehra, Supreme Court lawyer and Petitioner and Hitesh Jain, Kalmadi's Lawyer.
