A day after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Central Bureau of Investigation chief Alok Verma has moved to suspend his deputy, Special Director Rakesh Asthana. Sources told NDTV that a note for this was sent over weekend. PM Modi has intervened in the massive fight within the country's main investigating agency, summoning both officers. The CBI chief met him yesterday. The agency had filed a bribery case against Mr Asthana, who wrote to the government listing several charges against his boss. Mr Asthana, a Gujarat officer dubbed "the PM's blue-eyed boy" by Congress president Rahul Gandhi, was elevated as one of the country's top investigators in controversial circumstances last year. Sources in the PM's office say the CBI has not sought permission to act against him, as is required in such cases.
