Explanation: Sharad Kumar, former Director General (DG) of National Investigation Agency (NIA) retired, the 1979 batch Haryana cadre IPS officer has been appointed as the Vigilance Commissioner in the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) on 10th June 2018. 62-year-old Kumar retired in September last year after heading the National Investigation Agency, an anti-terror probe organisation, for over four years. Kumar was appointed DG of the NIA during the UPA regime in 2013, but following his retirement in October 2015, the NDA government re-employed him on a contract basis with annual extensions twice, which is considered a rare case in bureaucratic circles.
