The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a chargesheet on Thursday in the Patiala House courts against seven persons, including four MCD officials, in a case relating to corruption in the installation of street lights before the Commonwealth Games.

T P Singh and J P Singh, the then Directors of Sweka, the private firm; Mehal Karnik, a private person, affiliated to Philips India and Sweka have also been named in the chargesheet in the case.
