 "Alok Kumar Verma")
The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has initiated a fact-finding probe against CBI Director Alok Verma based on a complaint filed by his second-in-command, Special Director Rakesh Asthana, a report in The Economic Times said.
In his complaint, Asthana, who heads a special investigation team, alleged that Verma has sought to impede his functioning, interfere in investigations and malign his reputation on the basis of unverified facts.
Asthana also claimed that Verma had asked him to call off the planned raids against RJD supremo Lalu Prasad in Patna last year at the eleventh hour when raiding teams were already in place.
