The CBI is mulling to move for the extradition of Chinese national Jiashu Zhao wanted in connection with one of the 2010 Commonwealth Games scam cases related to the upgradation of Delhi's Shivaji Stadium.
The agency has so far been unable in its efforts to get a Interpol Red Notice (RCN) issued against Jiashu, an alleged representative of China Railway Shisiju Group Corporation in India, officials said.
The agency could not execute non-bailable warrants against him because of the absence of Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) between India and China, they said.
Jiashu has been named as an accused alongside senior NDMC officials in a chargesheet filed by the CBI in connection with the case, they said.
The court had already taken cognisance of charges against the accused officials and private persons in the case, they said.
Jiashu's trial was separated from other accused after CBI could not execute summons and NBW against him, they said.
The agency has now decided to move with an application for the extradition of the accused Chinese national, they said.
The case pertains to alleged corruption in the upgradation of Shivaji Stadium for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
The NDMC had invited tenders worth Rs 80.85 crore on February 16, 2008 for the upgradation of Shivaji Stadium including its Sports Facility Block, Hockey Stadium warm-up pitch, two level basement for parking with the premises and other works such as electrical, fire fighting and protection as a composite exercise.
The civic body had awarded the work to China Railway Shisiju Group Corporation represented by Jiashu at Rs 160.27 crore on June 9, 2008 for which was 98.23 per cent above estimated cost of Rs.80.85 crore, officials added.
