The Union Sports ministry Wednesday asked the Indian Olympic Association and the National Sports Federations to submit the details and the expenditure incurred on the junket of their officials to Glasgow.

The sports ministry is in no mood to let pass the unsavoury incidents involving two Indian officials at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

Ajit Sharan, secretary, sports ministry, told IANS Wednesday that he was aware of the developments and has asked the IOA to submit the details of the delegates and the expenses incurred on their trip.

"We have asked the IOA to furnish the details of the delegates and the expenses incurred by the them in Glasgow. Only after we get the list and other details can we think of any action," Sharan said.
