New Delhi: IPS officer Astha Modi, a 2013 batch officer from the Haryana cadre, has been appointed as Superintendent of Police in the CBI on deputation. The official order issued on September 12, 2025, by the DoPT authorizes her induction for an initial period of five years or until further orders, whichever occurs first.

This appointment marks a crucial milestone in Modi’s career, positioning her within one of India’s most prestigious investigative agencies. Known for its role in probing high-profile and complex cases, the CBI’s need for capable officers is paramount, and Modi’s addition is expected to contribute significantly to the agency’s effectiveness.

Modi’s prior experience in various administrative and law enforcement roles in Haryana has prepared her to take on the demanding responsibilities of the CBI. Her tenure is anticipated to strengthen the agency’s investigative leadership and promote a culture of transparency and accountability.

Raguramarajan A’s Deputation Extended Until September 2026

Simultaneously, the Central Government has approved a one-year extension of IPS officer Raguramarajan A’s deputation tenure as Superintendent of Police in the CBI. An order by the DoPT dated September 12, 2025, extends his service in the agency up to September 15, 2026, or until further directives.

Raguramarajan, an IPS officer from the 2012 batch, belonging to the Nagaland cadre, was originally inducted into the CBI in August 2019, with a four-year deputation period ending in September 2023. Before the completion of this tenure, his deputation was extended by two years till September 2025. The latest extension means Raguramarajan will have served the CBI for a total of seven years, a testament to the government’s confidence in his expertise.

His extensive experience and dedication have been crucial in managing some of the agency’s most sensitive cases. Retaining officers like Raguramarajan ensures continuity and stability within the CBI’s ranks, which is vital for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of ongoing investigations.

Government’s Strategy to Strengthen National Investigative Agencies

The dual developments — Modi’s appointment and Raguramarajan’s extension – underline the government’s strategy of deploying experienced and capable officers to key positions in national law enforcement agencies. By doing so, it aims to enhance the operational capabilities of the CBI, India’s premier investigative body tasked with tackling corruption, economic crimes, and other major offenses.

The CBI relies heavily on a pool of skilled officers drawn from various state cadres who bring diverse perspectives and expertise. The inclusion of officers like Modi and the continued presence of Raguramarajan signify the agency’s focus on maintaining high standards of investigation, ensuring justice, and upholding public trust.

Looking Ahead: Strengthening Investigative Excellence

With IPS officer Astha Modi stepping in with fresh energy and IPS officer Raguramarajan continuing his extended service, the CBI is well-positioned to face the evolving challenges of modern law enforcement. Their leadership and expertise will play an integral role in steering the agency through complex cases, while reinforcing the government’s vision of a robust, transparent, and accountable investigative system.

As India continues to prioritize good governance and the rule of law, appointments and extensions like these are critical to building a stronger and more effective CBI capable of meeting the nation’s expectations.
