Alok Verma, reinstated conditionally by the Supreme Court on Tuesday, will take charge as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) director again on Wednesday, said an official familiar with the development. His first act may be to rescind the transfer orders of some of his key people.
“Verma is likely to take a call on transfers and postings of officials effected by interim director M Nageswara Rao on October 24. Most of them likely to be restored to their pre-October 24 postings but he is unlikely to change the team now probing the case against the agency special director Rakesh Asthana,” added this person who spoke on condition of anonymity.
