Three senior members of the Organizing Committee for the Commonwealth Games are likely to exit today. Given that all three are known for their proximity to Suresh Kalmadi, the Chairman of the Committee is going to face a new wave of embarrassment. ( Video Special: Corruption scandal hits CWG)
Anil Khanna, the Treasurer of the Committee, quit on Thursday afternoon over reports that his son's company won a contract worth a crore for prepping tennis courts for the Games and used inferior material.
Khanna told a newspaper that his son is not involved with the contract and that it was won by the parent company based in Australia.
The two other members who, sources say, will be publicly removed after censure by the Sports Ministry- Sanjay Mohindroo and TS Darbari.
The Sports Ministry has formally asked Kalmadi to dismiss them on the grounds that they are linked to two major financial scandals.
An email from Mohindroo shows him dictating taxi rates to a vendor in London who was hired to provide cars and other services during the Queen's Baton Relay function in London last year.
