TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Ending the suspense, the government on Thursday appointed Delhi Police Commissioner Alok Kumar Verma as director of the Central Bureau of Investigation.
His name was cleared by a three-member selection panel headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and comprising Chief Justice of India Jagdish Singh Khehar and Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge as members.
Kharge is understood to have recorded his dissent note on Verma’s name, during the meeting of the selection committee held on January 16, on the ground that the officer had never served in CBI.
The Appointments Committee of Cabinet has approved the appointment of Verma as the new CBI Director. His appointment will be for a period of two-years from the date of assumption of charge of his office, a press release issued by personnel ministry said.
