CBI deputy superintendent of police Devender Kumar was arrested in the corruption case registered against the agency’s special director Rakesh Asthana. His office and residence were also examined after the registration of the FIR. Raids were conducted in CBI's own headquarters.
Last week, the agency filed a case against its Rakesh Asthana on the basis of a complaint from a Hyderabad businessman Sana Satish Babu. It was claimed that two brothers, Manoj Prasad and Somesh Prasad, asked for Rs 5 crore from him for Asthana’s interference in a case.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi also took a dig at the government and tweeted An institution in terminal decline that’s at war with itself."
CBI found that Devender Kumar had fabricated the statement as an afterthought plan to corroborate the baseless allegations made by Special Director Rakesh Asthana against director Alok Kumar Verma to CVC.
