As per a government notification, these officers have been "prematurely repatriated" to their parent cadre.
Four officers of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), including two joint directors who were handling high profile cases involving Nirav Modi-Mehul Choksi fraud, Ryan School murder and Shimla rape cases, have been shunted out of the probe agency.
As per a government notification, these officers have been "prematurely repatriated" to their parent cadre. However, sources stated that the CBI director Alok Kumar Verma's was at odd with these officers concerned.
Rajiv Singh, the joint director of Bank Securities and Fraud Cell (BSFC), heading all banking fraud probes, and Nina Singh, the joint director of Special Crime, heading Ryan School Murder and Shimla rape cases — in which the involvement of some top officers were found and nine of them have already been arrested — have been prematurely repatriated to her home cadre.
Two other CBI officers of the Tripura cadre – Anish Prasad (Deputy Inspector General) and K Gopal Krishna Rao (Superintendent of Police) — have also been repatriated.
All the officers inside the CBI headquarters were tight-lipped and were trying to defend the government's order, citing that the respective state governments wanted their officers back but this was completely "unconvincing".
Insiders stated the officers were shunted out on the request of the CBI director. "It is highly unconvincing that they were prematurely repatriated on the state government's request. They are probing high profile cases. There shunting out from the CBI will definitely hamper the investigation," said a source.
It is further alleged that the CBI director received "anonymous complaints" against these officers and their family members, following which he decided to remove these officers. These transfers have left the serving officers in the CBI completely demoralised and left out.
Earlier, the CBI director upped the ante against his own 1984 batch Gujarat-cadre IPS officer Rakesh Asthana and protested against his promotion as a Director General rank officer.
Before Verma was made the CBI director in January last year, Asthana was given an interim charge.
Verma's name was cleared for the post of CBI director by a three-member selection panel headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and comprising then Chief Justice of India Jagdish Singh Khehar and Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge as members. Interestingly, Kharge was against Verma's appointment as CBI director.
