Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has won the vote of confidence in the state legislative assembly with the support of 144 MLAs.
The government undertook a major revamp of the Central Bureau of Investigation's top leadership late Tuesday (October 23). CBI director Alok Verma, who has been involved in a bitter feud with the agency's No. 2 officer Rakesh Asthana, has been sent on leave.
Asthana too has been asked to proceed on leave. M Nageshwar Rao, a joint director within the CBI, has been asked to take charge as the interim CBI director.
The decision to send the two warring officers on leave was taken following a meeting of the Central Vigilance Commission, which governs the CBI.
