CBI shakeup: Oppn cries foul; govt defends move

In an unprecedented move, CBI director Alok Verma and special director Rakesh Asthana have been sent on leave amid an ongoing spat between them. While the government maintained that the officers were sent on leave in accordance with the recommendations of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and the decision was necessary for a fair probe, the opposition hinted at a larger conspiracy at play.
