CBI carries out searches at Lalli’s residence

The CBI today carried out searches at the residence of suspended Prasar Bharti CEO B S Lalli after registering a case against him and others for alleged irregularities in the award of broadcasting rights of Delhi Commonwealth Games 2010. The broadcasting rights reportedly resulted in a loss of 135 crore rupees to the exchequer. AIR correspondent quoting CBI sources reports, the case was filed against Lalli, Director of Zoom Communications Wasim Dehlvi and others under relevant provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Indian Penal Code late last night. Besides Lalli's residence, the searches were being carried at the residence of Dehlvi and two more places. The CBI move comes after Information and Broadcasting Ministry cleared the deck for prosecution of Lalli facing allegations of corruption relating to broadcast rights given to SIS Live for the Delhi Commonwealth Games.
