The Narendra Modi government, on Thursday, curtailed the tenure of Special Director of CBI Rakesh Asthana (IPS:1984:GJ) and three other officers of the investigative agency with immediate effect .
The three other officers are Joint Director Arun Kumar Sharma (IPS:1987:GJ), Deputy Inspector General Manish Kumar Sinha (IPS:2000:AP) and Superintendent of Police Jayant J Naiknavare (IPS:2005:MH).
The action by the Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC) came a day after Asthana, a 1984-batch IPS officer of Gujarat cadre, moved an application in the Delhi High Court seeking some corrections in the recent judgement.
The Delhi High Court had January 11 dismissed a plea filed by Asthana, seeking quashing of an FIR against him in a bribery case.
