The appointment of a new CBI director gains all the importance as the Liquor scam and Vivekananda murder cases are pending. Apart from this, the Congress
comes into power in Karnataka.
Karnataka Director General of Police Praveen Sood has been appointed as the next director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, a government order said .
Sood is a 1986-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of the Karnataka cadre, officials said.
He has been appointed to the CBI director’s post for a period of two years from the date of taking charge after Subodh Kumar Jaiswal completes his tenure on
May 25, they said.
The Department of Personnel and Training said, “Approval of the competent authority is hereby conveyed to the appointment of Praveen Sood, IPS (KN:86) as
Director, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a period of two years from the date of assumption of charge of the office vice Subodh Kumar Jaiswal, IPS
(MH:85) consequent upon completion of his tenure.”
Lets hope the new director for the CBI would resolve some of the key issues.
