The Commonwealth Games Organising Committee has terminated the services of its suspended Joint Director General T S Darbari in the wake of corruption scandal that has rocked the event. Darbari was suspended earlier after his name cropped up in alleged corruption during the Queen's Baton Relay's launch in London. According to media reports Darbari has been told to hand over charge to Additional Director General V K Saxena. The Ministry of Sports had written several letters to Organizing Committee,OC asking for his ouster because of the cases in Enforcement Directorate. The OC has finally acted on the instructions and given the marching orders to Darbari. Earlier on Monday Darbari also appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in a probe over his alleged customs violations. Darbari oversaw the Queen Baton relay preparations in London. This became the focal point of a corruption storm following revelations that a UK-based firm A M Films was paid lakhs of pounds for its services during the event.
