Controversy over appointment of Joint-Director Of ACB

Responding to the objection raised by ACB DG over the appointment of IPS officer C Ravi Verma as joint director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), the state government on Monday made it clear that the decision is final and there is no chance of changing it stance.

ACB director general Bhoobathi Babu objected the appointment of Ravi Verma, complaining that his track record wasn't clean enough to offer such prestigious post.

However, the state government came out strongly in support of the IPS officer Ravi Verma. "First of all, Mr Bhoobathi Babu has no authority to review the track record of others. The information available with the government confirms that Ravi Verma's track record is clean and his performance till date is very impressive," said a top government official.

The government also hinted that disciplinary action would be taken against ACB DG, he fails to comply with its orders.
