No Proof Of Corruption Against Alok Verma, Selection Panel Acted Hastily: Judge Who Monitored Probe

The move comes a day after Verma resigned from his position.

Retired Supreme Court Justice AK Patnaik, who was probing the Central Investigation Commission (CVC) inquiry into corruption charges against former CBI Director Alok Verma, on Saturday said that there was "no evidence of corruption" against Verma and that the decision to sack him was "hasty".

"The removal of Alok Verma by the PM-led panel was a very very hasty decision," NDTV Justice Patnaik as saying. “The entire enquiry was held on (CBI Special Director Rakesh) Asthana라이브 바카라 complaint. I have said in my report that none of the findings in the CVC라이브 바카라 report are mine," he added.

"The CVC's findings cannot alone be taken as the 'final word' on the matter,"바카라 웹사이트Indian Express Patnaik as saying.

Patnaik's comments come a day after Verma refused to take charge as DG Fire Service Civil Defence and Home Guards and submitted his resignation letter. On Thursday, Verma was removed his post from by a PM-led high power committee.

In his resignation letter, Verma said, "Natural justice was scuttled".바카라 웹사이트

"Institutions are one of the strongest and most visible symbols of our democracy and it is no exaggeration that the CBI is one of the most important바카라 웹사이트organisations바카라 웹사이트in India today. The decision made yesterday will not just be a reflection on my functioning but will become a testimony on how the CBI as an institution will be treated by any government through the CVC, who is appointed by majority members of the바카라 웹사이트rulling바카라 웹사이트government. This is a moment of collective introspection, to state the least," Verma wrote in his letter.

Verma, a 1979-batch IPS officer, was transferred as Director General Fire Services after the high-powered selection committee decided to remove him from the post of the CBI director.

The move came after a high powered selection committee comprising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Justice A K Sikri and leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, in a split verdict, decided to transfer him 21 days ahead of the completion of his tenure.바카라 웹사이트
