Superseded Sharma goes on leave

NEW DELHI: A day after he was superseded for the post of Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, Special Director in the agency M.L. Sharma has proceeded on indefinite leave.

Widely tipped to take over the reins of the premier investigating agency, Mr. Sharma’s name was learnt to have been cleared at the highest level, but at the last minute the Congress-led UPA government appointed his junior, Ashwani Kumar. Mr. Sharma, belonging to the 1972 batch of the IPS from the Rajasthan cadre, went on leave after he was informed on Thursday that he had been bypassed.
