JOIN USThe CBI has told a Delhi court that it has not registered any FIR on a complaint accusing chief minister Sheila Dikshit and others of corruption during the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
In his order, additional chief metropolitan magistrate Manish Yaduvanshi noted CBI SP's statement that no FIR has been registered and the probe into the allegations was at a preliminary stage.
The CBI SP said “it is submitted that after receipt of the various complaints of the complainant from Delhi Police, the CBI did initiate an inquiry which is at a very preliminary stage. It is, therefore, clarified that so far, no FIR stands registered on the present complaint of the complainant in respect of which his application under section 156 (3) CrPC is pending consideration.”
The CBI SP had appeared before the court in reply to its October 30 order to the probe agency to explain if any FIR has been lodged on RTI activist Vivek Garg’s complaint. Garg had filed a complaint against Dikshit, PWD minister Raj Kumar Chauhan and former CWG OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi for alleged corruption in various CWG projects.
Besides the politicians, the complaint had also accused the officials of Delhi government and the Centre of conspiring with each other and businessmen “to cause wrongful loss to the public exchequer and wrongful gain to themselves or persons whom they were interested in.”
It had accused them of being “guilty of offences of criminal breach of trust, cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code”.
