CBI versus CBI: No arrest for Rakesh Asthana till Monday

The Delhi High Court Tuesday directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to maintain status quo in the ongoing probe involving agency's special director Rakesh Asthana and granted him interim protection from arrest till Monday. High Court's order comes within hours of CBI director Alok Verma divesting Asthana from all duties and power.

Asthana's lawyer moved to court in fear of his client's arrest. This development comes against the backdrop of a bitter feud between Asthana and Verma. The status quo means both sides involved in the dispute are prevented from taking any action until the next date of hearing.
