Suresh Kalmadi was taken into custody Monday as part of an investigation into price-rigging in New Delhi’s staging of the event. He was charged over a deal with Swiss Timing Ltd. — one of many contracts being questioned in the probe.
The governing Congress Party suspended his membership Monday, and party activists ransacked his office and tore down his photo at the Congress building in western Pune.
One man hurled a slipper at Kalmadi as he arrived for a court hearing in New Delhi on Tuesday.
