The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), on Tuesday, filed a case against its Deputy Legal Advisor Beena Raizada for forging the signatures of the head of the branch in her annual appraisal report in order to get a favourable promotion.
The case was registered under sections 417 r/w 511, 468, 471 & 477 of the Indian Penal Code.
The development has come at a time when the agency is in news for all the wrong reasons.
Meanwhile, the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) on Monday filed in the Supreme Court its preliminary enquiry report, in a sealed cover, about CBI director Alok Kumar Verma who has been divested of his duties and sent on leave in view of allegations of corruption against him.
The allegations have been levelled against Verma by his deputy Rakesh Asthana, Special Director at the agency, against whom an FIR has been lodged by the CBI on graft charges. Asthana was also sent on leave by the Centre.
Acting CBI director M Nageswara Rao also filed in a sealed cover the decisions taken by him from October 23-26.
A bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul took both the reports on record and fixed the matter for further hearing on November 16.
