The tenure of two senior IPS officers — Anish Prasad and Abhay Singh — working with the CBI has been curtailed, according to a Personnel Ministry order.

Prasad, a 2003-batch officer of Tripura cadre, was reportedly at the centre of the controversy involving CBI’s two former top officers, ex-chief Alok Kumar Verma and the then Special Director Rakesh Asthana. Both Verma and Asthana had accused each other of corruption. Verma was removed as CBI Director on January 10.

While Prasad has been asked to go back to his cadre state Tripura, Singh’s services have been placed at the disposal of the Union Home Ministry. The order came two days after former Madhya Pradesh police chief Rishi Kumar Shukla took over the CBI reins. — PTI
