Former Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director A.P.Singh has resigned from the Union Public Service Commission four years before the completion of his term.
Though the reason for his resignation from his post is unknown, the government has reportedly forwarded it to President Pranab Mukherjee for acceptance.
Singh was the director of the CBI from 2010 to 2012. He was appointed to the UPSC in 2013.
It is being speculated that Singh resigned in response to a CBI court's recent verdict on the fake encounter case against BJP president Amit Shah.
The court had accepted Mr Shah's argument that he was "involved in the case by the CBI for political reasons".
Singh it is being reported felt the verdict raised doubts about him.
