    What's the story

    CBI Director Alok Verma was removed in a haste and there is no evidence of corruption against him, retired Supreme Court judge, Justice AK Patnaik, who was appointed by the apex court to supervise the Central Vigilance Commission said, IE reports.

    Justice Patnaik said the decision was taken in haste.

    Verma was removed on Thursday by a panel headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    Concerns

    We are dealing with an institution here: Justice Patnaik

    However, Justice Patnaik was extremely critical of how the incidents unfolded. He said despite the Supreme Court passing the buck to the high-powered committee, decision shouldn't have been taken this quickly.

    "We are dealing with an institution here. They should have applied their mind thoroughly, especially as a Supreme Court judge was there," he said.

    He added what CVC says is not final.

    Role

    Justice Patnaik says Verma had access to documents

    Justice Patnaik underlined the findings of the CVC weren't his. But, he said he ensured the due process was followed.
