Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Monday accused the government of adopting a "casual and superficial" approach in selecting the new CBI director and questioned the shortlisting process, saying it is in conflict with the mandate of the selection committee.
A committee led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi met on Monday to discuss a total of 16 candidates out of 109 officers who had applied for the post of new chief of the CBI. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury is one of the three members of the high-powered panel to select the new director of the CBI.
