New Delhi:
The Finance Ministry today said that it too is verifying the documents to check financial irregularities in award of works related to the Commonwealth Games.
"We are only at the background ... whatever is in the public domain we are verifying ... just as other agencies are looking, just like ED and others, we are also verifying the documents, the people and other factors," CBDT Chairman SSN Moorthy told reporters on the sidelines of a tax conference.
The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) had found serious discrepancies like award of works at higher rates to bidders, poor quality of construction and grant of work to ineligible agencies in different Games-related construction works.
Political parties such as BJP and CPI (M) have demanded action against the guilty.
Yesterday, the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee suspended its embattled chairman Suresh Kalmadi's close aide T S Darbari and two other tainted high-ranked officers in a desperate bid to restore its credibility.
