Time to insulate CBI from political executive: Ex-CJI Lodha
After Alok Verma was removed from the post of CBI Director, former Chief Justice of India RM Lodha said, "Time has come for it (the CBI) to be insulated from political executive." Lodha said if "the political executive continues to have control...these types of things will occur," adding, "Supreme Court has already evolved a mechanism for CBI to function independently."
