Rao, who took charge of the agency at 9 pm on Thursday, cancelled all the transfer decisions taken by Alok Verma a day earlier.

Verma had resumed duty as CBI director on Wednesday, a day after the apex court paved his return with some riders.

Verma termed it \"sad\" that he was transferred to another post pursuant to the orders of the committee on the basis of \"false, unsubstantiated and frivolous allegations made by only one person, who was inimical to him\".
