CBI traces source of arms procurement
Following Friday’s haul of arms and ammunition and even explosives from a house at Sandeshkhali by a joint search by the CBI and NSG, the procurement of the recovered arms are now under the scanner of the CBI.
Delhi Police Commissioner Alok Kumar Verma was on Thursday appointed as Director of CBI, official sources said.
Verma was one of the front runners for the CBI director’s post and has been the Delhi Police chief for the last 11 months.
His name was cleared by a three-member selection panel headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and comprising Chief Justice of India Jagdish Singh Khehar and Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge as members.
