CBI Director Praveen Sood Gets One-Year Extension

The Central Government has extended the tenure of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director Praveen Sood by one additional year.

The decision came after no consensus was reached regarding the appointment of a new CBI Director.

Reason Behind the Extension

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, was also part of the panel responsible for selecting the new CBI Director.

According to reports, Rahul Gandhi did not agree to any of the names proposed as alternatives for the post.

As a result, the government ultimately decided to grant Praveen Sood a one-year extension in his tenure as CBI Director.
