4 men caught lurking outside CBI Director’s residence

As if the storm brewing within the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was not enough, four people were caught lurking outside official residence of the CBI Director Alok Verma, who was sent on leave by the centre. The persons are now being questioned by the Delhi Police.

A Delhi Police official informed that the four men are Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials.

"We asked them to deposit their documents for identification. They came in two vehicles," the Police official added.

Earlier, the Centre relieved Verma and special director Rakesh Asthana from their roles and asked them to go on leave.

Asthana and Verma were at loggerheads on several issues and accused each other of blocking investigation of several important cases.

It may be noted that, the CBI had recently filed an FIR against Asthana for allegedly accepting a bribe from a businessman, who was linked to Moin Akhtar Qureshi case. Asthana was heading the Special Investigation Team (SIT) that was probing Qureshi's case.

Meanwhile, M Nageshwar Rao was appointed as the interim director of the CBI with immediate effect on Wednesday.
