The reputation of the CBI has taken a nosedive as India’s premier agency finds itself mired in controversy following accusations of corruption by the CBI Director and Deputy Director against each other.
In a fresh development, the Central government has sent both the top official on long leave and appointed M Nageshwar Rao as interim director. This appointment too is not free of controversy.
Prominent lawyer and social activist Prashant Bhushan has claimed that Nageshwar is a corrupt officer.
Commenting on Twitter, Prashant Bhushan said, “Read this detailed & documented story on Nageshwar Rao appointed as acting Director CBI by illegally removing the present Director. See how Rao protected the corrupt & his dubious assets https://www.savukkuonline.com/14806/.”
The story carried by a Tamil portal accuses Nageshwar of corruption and money laundering. Sigh!!!
