The CBI Director Alok Verma has reportedly revoked the transfer orders issued by the then director in-charge M Nageshwar Rao. Accordingly, the transfers of DSP A K Bassi, S P Gurm, Jt Director A K Sharma and others were withdrawn with immediate effect.

It may be underlined that the High-Powered Committee comprising PM Narendra Modi, Justice A K Sikri and leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, ended inconclusively today. As per the SC order Alok Verma cannot take major policy decisions till the final decision is taken by the statutory committee. Though, immediately after taking the charge Alok Verma, using his administrative powers, revoked most of the transfer orders issued by the then director in-charge M Nageshwar Rao.  

It may be mentioned that CJI Ranjan Gogoi had recused himself from the committee, and instead nominated Justice A K Sikri for the high-powered committee. The CVC Report, on the allegations against CBI Director Verma, were placed before the selection panel which ended inconclusively.
