New Delhi: In a senior level bureaucratic reshuffle, the government on Friday appointed Pravin Madhukar Pawar as Joint Director of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a period of five years from the date of assumption of charge of the post or until further orders, whichever is earlier.
According to a DoPT notification, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the proposal of the Department of Personnel & Training for Induction of Pravin Madhukar Pawar -- a 2003-batch Karnataka cadre IPS officer -- to the post of joint director of CBI for a period of five years.
