Indian investigators say they have found evidence of corruption in several construction projects for the Delhi Commonwealth Games.
India's Central Bureau of Investigation and Vigilance Commission say they have found irregularities in contracts for 14 Commonwealth Games relate projects.
Investigators will now re-examine the tenders for all Games venues and infrastructure.
The investigation was launched after complaints from anti-corruption activists.
Expenditure for the Games is already over budget and many projects are behind schedule.
Earlier this week, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit threatened to blacklist companies if they failed to meet construction deadlines.
The Commonwealth Games will open on October 3rd.
