The CBI's number two officer Rakesh Asthana has questioned in the Supreme Court the government's move to send him on compulsory leave along with his boss Alok Verma - the man he has accused of corruption. Mr Asthana's petition, filed just moments before the top court's hearing on CBI director Alok Verma's petition, was not taken up by the top court. Mr Asthana's lawyer Mukul Rohatgi, a former attorney general, explained details of his petition to NDTV.
