T S Darbari, ousted joint director general of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee
New Delhi: T S Darbari, ousted joint director general of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee, has sought to clear his name from being associated with charges of financial impropriety regarding an event in London, saying he was not involved in any way in selecting the vendors.
Raising the matter pertaining to hiring of cars, video walls and other equipment during the Queen's Baton Relay function in London Oct 29 last year, Darbari also sought the nod for legal action against the media from the chief executive (CEO) of the Organising Committee.
"A vicious, malafide, motivated media campaign has been launched targeting me personally for certain alleged acts of financial impropriety in connection with the Queen's Baton Relay launch event organised in London," says his letter to Jarnail Singh, who heads the three-member panel that has been appointed to inquire into the charges of wrongdoing in OC.u00a0
"Despite the continuous nature of vindictive, personalised campaign against me, I have full faith in the management that I will not be made scapegoat," says the letter, a copy of which was obtained by IANS, and assures that the intention is not to go public with his defence.
