The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is likely to issue summons to senior officials of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee in connection with a case of alleged violation for foreign exchange regulations related to the Queen Baton Relay in London.

Official sources said the ED wants to confront the officials with certain documents that it has laid it hands on.

In August, the ED had questioned sacked CWG Organising Committee Joint Director General T S Darbari and suspended Deputy Director General Sanjay Mohindroo for several hours over alleged financial irregularities in connection with the mega event.

Darbari, a close aide of OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi, and Mahindroo were summoned to explain certain financial transactions undertaken during the Queen's Baton Relay in London last year. The ED has already registered a case under Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) in this regard.

The ED has obtained a "fair amount" of details about the banking transactions undertaken by the Games body, the sources said.
