Indian investigators continue to probe into corruption allegations from last year's Commonwealth Games. They raided 10 locations searching for evidence in their case against the Games' organizing officials.

India's probe into the Commonwealth Games' financial irregularities continued. On Thursday, India's Central Bureau of Investigation, or CBI, raided 10 locations in New Delhi.

The raids targeted four companies that had acted as the Indian arm for international firms.

On Wednesday, the CBI questioned Suresh Kalmadi, who headed the Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee in connection with financial irregularities.

In December last year, the agency had visited Kalmadi's residences to search for papers as a part of their probe into allegations of monetary mismanagement.

The CBI had also arrested three top officials of the Organizing Committee.

In November, investigators also conducted raids and collected scores of documents from Kalmadi's key aides.

The Games were marred by charges of corruption and initial complaints. Games facilities had suffered from dubious contracts and poor workmanship.
