After a very long time, CBI had no vacancies in the top ranks with two special directors – Ajay Bhatnagar and DC Jain and two additional directors – Manoj Shashidhar and Sampat Meena. But, situation changed fast with both special directors’ post lying vacant at present.

But first to go was DC Jain who retired on October 31 last year and then Bhatnagar too got posted out of the CBI last month. And suddenly the premier investigation agency has two vacancies at the top.

Sampat Meena too doesn’t have a long tenure left in the CBI. She will complete her tenure of 7 years in CBI in September this year unless given an extension.

But the agency can look forward to having another additional director in Naval Bajaj, a 1995 batch Maharashtra cadre IPS officer presently working as joint director in CBI. Bajaj has been promoted as additional director general at the centre and once the vigilance commission clears his name he too can formally be promoted as additional director in CBI.

But still there would be a vacancy at the top. So now let’s see whether decides to bring in one more official from outside or continues with three additional directors for the time being.
