Asthana came to the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) office at around 4.45 PM and stayed there for around 10 minutes, but could not meet any senior official as there was no scheduled appointment.
Earlier on Thursday, CBI Director Alok Verma appeared before the panel headed by Chowdary and countered the corruption charges levelled against him by Asthana.
The Supreme Court had on October 26 asked the Central Vigilance Commission to complete within two weeks its inquiry into allegations against Verma levelled by Asthana.

Chaudhary was appointed as the CVC on June 6, 2015, while Bhasin took charge as the VC on June 11 the same year.
