 "Former probe officer in Rakesh Asthana case moves SC against transfer")
CBI Deputy SP A K Bassi, the former probe officer in the alleged corruption case against Special Director Rakesh Asthana, moved the Supreme Court Tuesday against his transfer.

He further sought an urgent hearing on his plea against the transfer on November 2.
The top court said it will look into it.
