New Delhi: Commonwealth Games Chairman Suresh Kalmadi has reportedly shipped out incriminating documents related to the Games to the USA. Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sources have told CNN-IBN that the documents are reportedly with Kalmadi's nephew Rajender Rao in Minnesota, US.



The sources claimed that Kalmadi and his close aide BK Ratnakar Rao are involved in shipping out Commonwealth Games documents.

However, Kalmadi claimed that he did not ship out any document saying that he was open to any enquiry.



Kalmadi and BK Ratnakar Rao, currently President of Squash Federation of India and former RAW officer, reportedly shipped out incriminating documents to Rajender Rao, who lives in 10619 Maple Boulevard, Woodbury Minnesota, MN 55129, USA.



Rao had been a Reserve Bank investigator of commercial fraud and was a security advisor to Commonwealth Games. Rao's residence in Bangalore - 425, 10th Main Road, Banasankari 2nd Stage, Bangalore 560070 -[color="#FF0000"] might be raided soon by the CBI[/color].



Rao's connections in London with Ash Patel was made during the time he was the minister of coordination and visa in Indian High Commission at London between 1989-92.

He used his contacts in the London High Commission and informed them that CWG would make the arrangements for Queen's Baton Relay and deal directly with local contractors, hire equipment, rent accomodation and deal with security arrangements.



He visited UK in August 2009 and contacted contractors like Ash Patel to set up shell companies with false accounts and prepare false invoices for the overlays.

In April 2009 Rao was asked to squeeze £250,000 of CWG money by over-invoicing for overlays. Darbari was asked to hand over the CWG money to Ash Patel in Oct 2009 for the Queen's Baton Relay.



Darbari was told to collect his share of 10 per cent of the deal with a diamond ring at the duty free airport in Dubai. Darbari, apparently, never suspected he had walked into a trap and would be charged under FEMA/FERA for money-laundering and non-declaration of customs duty on imported jewellery.

What is worse ? Your home address everywhere connected with one of the biggest fraud.

Well, future employers and neighbors will have field day. <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />
