Rift between CBI chief, special director out in the open

Live Mint  

New Delhi: The rift at the top in India’s leading investigative agency is out in the open with reports of a fallout between the Central Bureau of Investigation director Alok Verma and special director Rakesh Asthana. In response to a CVC letter, asking the “officer holding charge of the CBI director” to attend a 12 July CBI selection committee meeting, the probe agency had stated that “the charge/powers of the director, CBI, have not been given to” Asthana, and had urged the CVC to postpone the meeting to 19 July. So it stands to reason that in Alok Verma’s absence, officiating powers were not vested with Asthana.” Asthana was appointed CBI’s special director in October 2017, following which his appointment was challenged in the Supreme Court by a non-government organisation, represented by Prashant Bhushan on grounds of “institutional integrity”, as Asthana’s name had allegedly cropped up in a matter that was being investigated by the CBI. He also headed a special investigation team to investigate the 2002 Godhra Sabarmati Express burning case, and had given Narendra Modi, the then Gujarat chief minister, a clean chit in the communal violence that ensued.
