October 24, 2018 09:13

The internal squabble in the Central Bureau of Investigation is shocking and unprecedented in the history of the country's premier investigation agency, former officials of the probe agency said.

Former Assistant Director of CBI, N S Kharayat has said that the central government should take the issue very seriously.

"The CBI is directly under the Prime Minister. This incident is unparalleled in the history of the CBI. This is very unfortunate that one special director of the CBI is facing corruption charges.

"The CBI is such a reputed agency and it is the duty of CBI officials to maintain its dignity and image I am shocked that the government has not woken up yet," Kharatyat told ANI.

Former Joint-Director of the CBI N K Singh termed the matter unfortunate.

"It is the most unfortunate. There have been ups and downs in the CBI in the past too. But, whatever is happening today has been never heard before. The credibility of the CBI is also lost now," he said. -- ANI
