 "Former probe officer in Rakesh Asthana case moves SC against transfer")
CBI Deputy SP A K Bassi, the former probe officer in the alleged corruption case against Special Director Rakesh Asthana, moved the Supreme Court Tuesday against his transfer.
Bassi said his transfer to Andaman and Nicobar Islands on October 24 is "malafide and derails a sensitive probe" and added that allegations against Asthana are "grave".
He further sought an urgent hearing on his plea against the transfer on November 2.
The top court said it will look into it.
