Kalmadi put a brave front saying he is ready to face the inquiry
PUNE: Former Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi reacting to media reports saying he was “missing” for the past few days when his bank lockers in the city were searched by CBI sleuths, Kalmadi, who returned from Bangkok on Friday, told Congress workers, “I was not missing. I am not the one who would run away. I make others run.”
He is facing charges of corruption in connection with the mega sports event held in Delhi last year. Kalmadi said he was not the one who would run away fearing an inquiry.
Kalmadi was in Bangkok earlier this week in connection with organisation of an Afro-Asian athletic meet.
He showed he was ready to face any inquiry and answer all questions and was fully cooperating with the investigating agencies.”I have not done anything wrong to bring disrepute to Pune.
He also tried to clarify his part saying, CBI searched my house and opened bank lockers but they did not find anything incriminating. They came across only those things mentioned in my income and wealth tax returns.”
