Delhi Commonwealth Games Chief Syresh Kalmadi Got Bail

The high court in the Indian capital, Delhi, has granted bail to Suresh Kalmadi, the disgraced former chief of the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

Mr Kalmadi has been in jail since April. He is accused of conspiracy regarding the awarding of commercial contracts for the Games.

He denies any wrongdoing. The build-up to the Games was marred by allegations of sleaze and incompetence.

He was removed from his post in January last year.

The row over the Games is one of a series of corruption scandals that has rocked India in recent months.
