New Delhi: Dropping controversial Delhi Police chief B.S. Bassi from the list of contenders, three former bureaucrats were today chosen Commissioners in Central Information Commission by a selection panel led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Former Information and Broadcasting Sec-retary Bimal Julka, Gujarat cadre IAS officer Amitava Bhattacharya and former Special Director of Intelligence Bureau D P Sinha have been selected as Information Commi-ssioners in the transparency panel.
The decision to drop Bassi’s candidature was taken after opposition from Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge.
