Delhi Assembly passes resolution against Rakesh Asthana’s appointment as police commissioner #IndiaNEWS
The Delhi Assembly on Thursday passed a resolution against former Central Bureau of Investigation officer Rakesh Asthana’s appointment as the Capital’s commissioner of police, the Aam Aadmi Party said.The resolution asked the Ministry of Home Affairs to reverse Asthana’s appointment. It was moved by Aam Aadmi Party MLA Sanjeev Jha, according to The Hindu. The home ministry had announced Asthana’s appointment as the Delhi police commissioner on Tuesday. He was set to retire as the director general of the Border Security Force on July 31. The Centre said in its order that Asthana’s service was extended for a year in public interest, NDTV reported. Asthana had been posted as the director general of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security in 2019 after his controversial stint as the CBI special director. Asthana’s name cropped up in a major controversy related to a bribery case in 2018.On Thursday, the AAP said in the Delhi Assembly that Asthana’s appointment violated a Supreme Court judgement, IANS reported.“In 2019, the SC ruled that no officer with less than six months of tenure left should be named for a top job,� Jha said. “In fact, Asthana was the front-runner for being the CBI chief in May, 2019, but was dropped after the top court pointed the same in its ruling.�
