Since the central government has not yet accepted the resignation of former CBI director Alok Verma, speculations are rife about the government motive. Instead of letting things go or settle down, it is suspected that some officials may use the government's shoulders to settle their personal accounts with Verma. This suspicion is fuelled by the CVC reportedly having asked the CBI to take “necessary action” against its ex-director Alok Verma in a case involving a bribe allegedly paid to him by Sana Satish Babu. It has also advised the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) to initiate disciplinary proceedings against him. The CVC advice to both the CBI and the DoPT are based on its report submitted to the Supreme Court in November. According to officials, a complaint may be filed against Verma on the basis of an allegation that middleman Sana Satish Babu paid a Rs 2 crore bribe to him in the Moin Qureshi case. The DoPT will look into an incident involving the exclusion of the name of a key suspect Rakesh Saxena from a complaint registered by CBI in the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corp (IRCTC) case, allegedly at Verma’s behest. The CVC report has highlighted both as instances of serious misconduct. It has also left it to DoPT to initiate major or minor penalty proceedings against Verma in all the other cases where the report substantiates or partially substantiates allegations made by CBI’s then special director Rakesh Asthana. The file is said to be under process for departmental proceedings.
