In a massive embarrassment for the Indian contingent at the ongoing Commonwealth Games here, IOA Secretary General Rajeev Mehta and wrestling referee Virender Malik have been arrested on different charges.
According to reports, while Mehta has been arrested for drunken driving, Malik is facing a more serious charge of sexual assault.
Media reports, quoting a Scotland Yard spokesperson, stated that "two male members - aged 45 and 49 - were arrested on separate charges."
The two will be produced in court tomorrow.
The duo, however, is not part of the official 215-strong contingent which is staying in the Games village. Both of them were reportedly lodged at a local hotel.
