Indian police have arrested the sacked treasurer of the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games organising committee in connection with an investigation into alleged corruption, reports in the media said yesterday.

M. Jayachandran was arrested after several rounds of questioning and searches were being carried out at his residence, a spokesman for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said.

The Times of India said the CBI had seized laptops and documents from his office and residence.

The latest action comes a week after police arrested two other top former Games officials over alleged corruption in connection with an event held last year in London, the Queen’s Baton Relay.
