The biggest scam related to the Commonwealth Games
Back in 2010, the biggest scam was noted worth 70,000 crores in India, New Delhi. The allotted amount was to be spent half on the Indian sportspersons. They were made to shift to shabby apartments instead of those which were centrally allocated to them. The revelation came with the key person in charge of organizing such an important event, Suresh Kalmadi offered 141 crores to the Swiss Timings about the time equipment. It was high by 95 crores. The guilties from this scam were accused of their activities.
