Therefore, the ED officials took permission from court to question the former director general of Commonwealth Games Organising Committee in the Tihar Jail, where he is lodged in judicial custody.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has alleged that a competitor of Swiss Timing had quoted a price of R46 crore to execute the contract but the OC overlooked its bid in a premeditated manner to favour Swiss Timing Limited.
Apart from Verma, the CBI has also arrested former OC's former chairman Suresh Kalmadi, former secretary general Lalit Bhanot, former deputy director general (procurement) Surjeet Lal and former joint director general ASV Prasad.
The Enforcement Directorate also plans to question all other accused as well.
