In The CBI vs CBI fued Alok Verma has been reinstated as the CBI chief by the Supreme Court, three months after the government divested him of his powers and sent him on forced leave. #AlokVerma, #RakeshAsthana

With the spat of CBI out in the open, Mr. Sujit Nair, Managing Editor of HW News Network, discusses, how it all started, how Mr. Alok Verma and Mr. Rakesh Asthana got into a scuffle and what has the government to do with it.

Exiled CBI chief Alok Verma's case against the government for stripping him of his powers and sending him on forced leave has been taken up by the Supreme Court today. Hearing has commenced in Supreme Court, Fali S Nariman is arguing for Verma. Alok Verma took the government to court after he was replaced by an interim chief in a dramatic post-midnight order on Tuesday. The CVC inquiry to be conducted under supervision of retired Supreme Court judge AK Patnaik, order Supreme Court . arti Ghargi and Anusha Bhattacharya gives you more updates.

Ahead of the Supreme Court decision on Alok Verma's petition against his removal, the Mumbai unit of Congress party protested outside the CBI office. Mumbai Congress President Sanjay Nirupam along with other top party leaders staged a protest and alleged that PM Modi unconstitutionally removed Alok Verma because he was about to order an inquiry into RafaleScam.The top Congress leaders also accused PM Modi for his unconstitutional attempt to block an investigation into the Rafale scam by removing the CBI Chief. Anil Rajpurohit gives more insights

After a year of dispute between CBI director Alok Verma and Special director Rakesh Asthana, both are now sent on leave.. and the man who is at the centre of all these ongoing CBI row is once again Moin Qureshi.. The same Qureshi who was once responsible for the downfall of two CBI chiefs AP Singh and Ranjit Sinha. All the charges against Moin Qureshi ranging from tax evasion to money laundering are still pending. This entire Qureshi probe has now affected Alok Verma.. and his job. And now he has been divested from all his powers and duties. The association of people like Moin Qureshi and many more with the officials who hold high post in the top agencies defame the entire agency and gradually officers like Alok Kumar Verma has pay the price for it..

A dramatic overnight decision by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to remove CBI director Alok Verma has underlined just how serious corruption cases has filled within the walls of Central Bureau of Investigation and how terrible the entire situation is..the Modi governmnet has appointed CBI joint director M Nageshwar Rao as the interim chief of the agency. The 1986-batch Orissa-cadre officer, who was asked to take over as acting chief immediately, in his first order, removed the entire team probing the bribery case against Asthana. All sensitive cases including the Vijay Mallya and Agusta-Westland cases will be personally supervised by new interim CBI chief.Now one wonders whether the Modi Government is protecting their own hand-picked officers against whom serious charges of corruption are being investigated..

A premier investigating agency of world’s largest democracy entangled with an ugly, out-in-public fight between the two topmost officials, both trying to discredit each other while the leadership looks over- seems like a perfect flimsy story. The fact is, it is happening right now in India’s leading investigative agency Central Bureau of the investigation. The public fallout between the No.1 of CBI i.e. CBI director Alok Verma and No.2 i.e. Special Director Rakesh Asthana has now reached to a point where the agency seems to be having an unprecedented face-off. This CBI vs CBI infight reached its zenith when the agency filed an FIR against its own Special Director Rakesh Asthana and even raided its own officer in connection with the case. Rakesh Asthana however, levelled same charges of corruption and misconduct against the CBI director Alok Verma. Asthana even said that there is a conspiracy being hatched to malign him. Rakesh Asthana's first shot to fame came with the arrest of former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav in the fodder scam. Asthana was only 36 when he sent Lalu Yadav, the then CM of Bihar to jail in the fodder scam case. After this, he was considered one of the boldest officers on the block. He also handled Asaram Case and 2008 Ahmedabad blast case. But as much as he is hailed for his cases, there is his share of controversies too. He was named in the infamous 2011 diary scandal. He has several accusations of bribery on him. However, the most consistent allegation on him is being a pawn at the hands of PM Modi and Shah since his Gujarat days. He was part of the Supreme Court-monitored SIT which gave Narendra Modi clean chit in the Godhra kaand. Since then, he is said to be close to the duo. His appointment as the Special director of CBI despite the opposition from Alok Verma is also said to be because of his proximity to the Prime Minister. The CBI vs CBI fight is no more internal. The PMO stepped in but it is already too late. The ugly side of the bureaucracy tainted by political infiltration is for all to see. It is not that the previous government didn't play with the CBI. Indeed, Supreme Court once called it a caged parrot. But for this unprecedented case, the dots are in front of us, how to connect them to see the larger picture is up to all of us.
