Explanation: In "cleaning up" the country's top probe agency, the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) shunted out two top officials facing charges of corruption and appointed Nageswar Rao - a relatively junior 1986-batch bureaucrat as the interim chief of the CBI. The CBI was headed by Anil Sinha when Mr Rao joined in 2015. Amitabh Singh Dhillon, the head of the agency's counter-intelligence unit or Special Unit, had then tabled an adverse report on Mr Rao -- saying that he should not be inducted on the grounds of corruption charges levelled against him and his alleged proximity to political parties.
