Rakesh Asthana  

AK Bassi, who was investigating the corruption charges against Rakesh Asthana, was transferred to Port Blair "in public interest" in an order signed by interim CBI chief Nageswar Rao on October 24

Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi refused to share the details of the report with CBI No. 2 Rakesh Asthana's counsel Mukul Rohtagi, saying that "You will not get a copy"

Two of the topmost officials of the CBI Asthana and Verma have been embroiled in an unprecedented feud, each accusing the other of corruption and of having accepted bribes

The hearing assumes significance as CBi chief Alok Verma has reportedly   given a point-wise refusal to all the allegation levelled against him by his deputy Rakesh Asthana before the three-member CVC headed by K V Chowdary

Asthana is accused of accepting a bribe of Rs 3 crore to avoid action by the CBI in an investigation against meat exporter Moin Qureshi. An accused in the case, Sana Sathish Babu, had also said that Asthana accepted the bribe
