The selection panel led by PM Modi has selected on Saturday IPS Rishi Kumar Shukla as the new CBI director. Rishi Kumar Shukla is an officer of the 1984 batch and is former Director General of Police (DGP), Madhya Pradesh.

The Supreme Court had expressed its unhappiness over the delay on the government’s part in appointing the CBI chief. The appointment of M Nageswara Rao as the interim CBI chief was also challenged at the apex court as it was argued that his appointment was not based on the recommendations of the high-power selection panel.
