First information report

Comptroller and Auditor General Vinod Rai may not have been unduly apprehensive of government censure for his headline-grabbing performance audit reports, but there is one authority he treats with due apprehension. Recently quizzed by journalists on his retirement plans, since he is due to demit office on May 23, Rai demurred. He was reluctant to share his plans, he said, since he had not even discussed the matter with his wife and didn't want to get into any trouble by discussing it with the media first.
