The Department of Personnel and Training
(DoPT) indicted ousted Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director Alok
Verma on three counts on Tuesday and served him chargesheets into those
matters. The DoPT charge sheet says Verma asked junior
Rakesh Asthana from mentioning the name Rakesh Saxena, the then IRCTC director,
as an accused in IRCTC scam. He has been accused of deliberately weakening the
case against RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav in IRCTC scam. DoPT was also reportedly probing the role of
Verma in removing the name of Ahluwalia Contracts as he was a close friend of
the Ahluwalia family. Verma has also been chargesheeted in Rajiv Singh
case. It was alleged that IPS officer Rajiv Singh, a Joint Director with CBI,
was a guarantor in one of the bank loans taken by his brother Sanjay Singh from
the Allahabad Bank. And for availing the loan, Rajiv Singh had submitted false
documents to the bank. It has been accused that Verma ignored this and did not
take any action against him. The former CBI Director has also been accused
of allegedly favoring the induction of two officers – RP Upadhyay and Rajeev
Krishna – against whom internal inquiries had reportedly revealed “adverse
conduct†and “integrity issues†respectively. Upadhyay is currently Special
Commissioner of Police and is in charge of law and order situation in Delhi.
Rajeev Krishna is posted in Uttar Pradesh.
