Reportedly, CBI Director Alok Verma’s recent meeting with former union minister Arun Shourie and senior advocate Prashant Bhushan has irked the current dispensation. A senior official had shown covert displeasure at this issue stating that in the past, the leaders willing to provide inputs were asked to present all documents at the reception room itself. This is the prevalent practice. This statement reflects the mood of those at the top of helm of affairs.

Arun Shourie and Prashant Bhushan, last week, presented documents related to Rafale deal to the CBI Director and demanded probe into the deal and the offset clause. This meeting has created a buzz in the power corridor. The officer added that some CBI officers are at loggerheads which is not a good sign for the functioning of this agency.
