Beleaguered Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) chief Ranjit Sinha on Thursday said he would abide by the Supreme Court order directing him to recuse from the telecom scam probe and denied having named any officer as a "mole" before the apex court.

Sinha, who had to face the Supreme Court's ire, which asked him to keep away from the probe, said he would not be filing any review petition as the order was from the Bench headed by the Chief Justice.

When asked about naming a senior IPS officer as a possible "mole" who leaked the documents to activist lawyer Prashant Bhushan, the CBI director said he had not named anyone.

"I don't know what are you talking about. I have not named any officer as a mole or anything," Sinha told reporters at the agency headquarters in New Delhi.
