Selection committee removes CBI top boss |
It was a quick walk in and out for the CBI chief Alok Verma as he was shunted out of the office by the selection committee led by the Prime Minister. India`s Central Bureau of Investigation`s top boss Alok Verma was on thursday shunted out as the CBI chief after a marathon meeting of high-powered selection committee led by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The PM-led panel based its decision after detailed discussions on a Central Vigilance Committee report on the allegations against Mr Verma. The dissent note sent by Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of opposition in the selection panel, which summarizes the report says it did not find any evidence to substantiate the main allegations against Mr Verma. Informatively, The Supreme Court had reinstated Mr Verma on 8th January, scrapping the government`s October order sending him on compulsory leave. The court, however, said he was not to make any policy decision till the PM-led committee took a call on his status. Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi dropped out of the committee and nominated Justice Sikri as he was part of the bench that restored Mr Verma.
