It seems not everything is running smoothly as India prepares to host its inaugural grand prix in October.<\/p>\n
Last week, it emerged that Mark Hughes – the F1 boss of the race promoter Jaypee – had quit for “personal reasons” and switched to the Abu Dhabi project.<\/p>\n
Now, it has emerged that Suresh Kalmadi, the official who initiated India’s F1 project, has been stepped down on suspicion of corruption.<\/p>\n
He was in charge of original F1 promoter the Indian Olympic Association, and is accused of hindering an inquiry of India’s Central Bureau of Investigation.<\/p>\n
Autoweek said part of the investigation into malpractice surrounding the recent Commonwealth Games in Delhi could involve the alleged channelling of illegal profits through the current F1 promoter JPSK.<\/p>\n
‘JPSK’ is reportedly an acronyn combining Jaypee with the initials of Kalmadi’s son Sumeer, who part-owns the company.<\/p>\n
