The services of T S Darbari, the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee's suspended joint director general, have been terminated by the Games panel.
The Enforcement Directorate has also asked T S Darbari to appear before it on Monday to probe further the alleged financial irregularities for services provided at the Queen's Baton Relay ceremony in London last year.
Official sources said Darbari, a close aide of OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi, has been asked to explain certain financial transactions undertaken during the Queen's Baton Relay ceremony.
Darbari has also been asked to bring all documents related to money transactions and grant of contracts to different agencies in London.
Sources said this has been done after British authorities referred to the High Commission a transaction with A M Films, a little-known London-based company, to which a huge sum of money was transferred through the Royal Bank of Scotland.
The authorities in London have already begun a probe into the dealings of the firm and had contacted the Indian High Commission which subsequently forwarded the details to the
Sports Ministry here for action.
The ministry had then asked Kalmadi on August 1 to immediately relieve Darbari of all duties.
The Organising Committee had suspended Darbari and Joint Director General (Accounts and Finance) M Jaychandran on August 5 for their alleged role in the Queen's Baton Relay irregularities. Deputy Director General Sanjay Mohindroo was also under the scanner but he quit his post several months ago.
