A Delhi court on Saturday sent former CWG Organising Committee official M. Jayachandran to 11 days’ judicial custody in the case related to alleged financial bungling in conduct of the Queen’s Baton Relay (QBR) in London last year.

Special CBI Judge A.S. Yadav remanded Mr. Jayachandran to judicial custody till December 8.

Mr. Jayachandran, who was arrested on November 23, moved a bail application and the court posted the matter for hearing on it on December 8.

The court had earlier remanded two other sacked CWG OC officials T.S. Darbari and Sanjay Mahendroo, who were arrested on November 15, to judicial custody till December 8.

All the accused had been sent to the Tihar Jail after the CBI told the court that they were no longer required for interrogation by the agency.

The CBI had lodged two separate cases against the former OC officials.
