NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has sent sacked Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi and two others to judicial custody till May 18.
Suresh Kalmadi was produced in a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court at Patiala House today.
Kalmadi's eight-day CBI remand comes to an end today.
Kalmadi was arrested by the CBI on April 25 for fraud and conspiring with other officers of the Organising Committee for overpaying a Swiss firm 95 crores for timing and scorekeeping equipment that was used at different venues during the Commonwealth Games.
The arrest order was carried out after the CBI had questioned Kalmadi extensively on the two incidents, particularly on the documents relating to the two deals.
The CBI had earlier asked Kalmadi to appear before it on Monday to clarify some new issues, which surfaced during the visit of the agency's officials to London in connection with Queen's Baton Relay scam.
Kalmadi had earlier expressed his inability to appear before the CBI citing his foreign visit, saying he would return home only after April 19. But even after returning from his visit abroad, he did not turn up before the sleuths, saying he was still not in Delhi, sources said.
Kalmadi has been accused of sanctioning payments to AM Films and AM Car at rates that were hugely inflated.
