CWG : CCTV Firm Submitted Blank, Manipulated DVDs To Police

New Delhi, Oct 6: Security for the marathon and cycling events during last year’s Commonwealth Games appeared to have been compromised as Delhi Police have now found that the footage submitted to them were tampered with allegedly by a couple who bagged a Rs 25 lakh contract for the job.

The CCTVs, installed by the company owned by them, could not record the happenings in the area and most of the 61 DVDs they submitted to police after the event were “fabricated, blank or copy of some other camera recordings mentioning different locations,” investigations have found.

Following the revelations, police registered a case of cheating and criminal conspiracy against Pawan Gambhir and Seema Rajput yesterday, 360 days after the event was held in the capital where world-known cyclists and marathon runners took part.

Gambhir and Seema could not be contacted for comments. Delhi was on a hightened security alert during October first half last year due to the holding of Commonwealth Games in which sports personalities from 71 countries participated.
