Delhi Police had told court that CBI was handling all cases related to CWG.

Irked by the delay in receiving a “proper” status report in a complaint levelling corruption charges against Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and others in connection with the 2010 Commonwealth Games,a court has told the Delhi Police to coordinate with the CBI and file a status report by October 30.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Manish Yaduvanshi on Wednesday directed Economic Offences Wing (EOW) and the Deputy Commissioner of Police K K Vyas to coordinate with the CBI on filing a status report into the complaint of RTI activist Vivek Garg.

Garg,in his complaint,had levelled corruption charges against Dikshit,PWD Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan and former CWG OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi.

In an order on August 31,the court had asked the police to file a status report in the matter,after the Delhi Police informed it that the EOW had referred the complaint to the CBI in December last year.

Vyas and the Additional DCP (EOW) appeared in court on Wednesday with “proper reports” as sought by the court.

The court had also sought query-wise reply on whether the complaint disclosed any cognizable offence and,if so,what action has been taken on it.

The court had also asked if the complainant had been informed about the reason for not taking any action on the complaint.

The EOW told the court that all investigation in the case had been done by the CBI and it was not possible for the Delhi Police to file a report without receiving the necessary information from the CBI.

“The complaint had not been inquired into by EOW and all complaints had been transferred to the CBI at the initial stage itself as allegations related to Commonwealth Games were being looked into/investigated by the CBI,” the DCP told the court on Wednesday.

“It was thought proper to transfer these complaints to the CBI for further necessary action to avoid investigation by various agencies into the same issue,” he said.
