The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a case for violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) as part of its probe into the alleged corruption in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games.
Official sources said the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has also received 20 complaints regarding the Games. The complaints include some relating to overlay works.
A CBI team visited the Games organising committee's office here on Monday.
"The CBI is working in close coordination with the ED in connection with the case registered by the directorate under FEMA," a source said.
Complaints received by the CBI include those pertaining to works carried out by the Central Public Works Department (CPWD).
"The CBI is awaiting reports from the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), the comptroller and auditor general (CAG) and the I-T department. The CAG has its own central technical examiners and will do a financial audit. If something crops up, the CBI will move in," the source said.
The income-tax department today conducted searches in the premises of businessman and BJP activist Sudhanshu Mittal and some consortia in and around Delhi to detect alleged financial irregularities in works related to the Games.
Meanwhile, the CVC has found discrepancies in tenders and alleged misappropriation amounting to about Rs8,000 crore.
