He argued that the diary showed the name of Rakesh Asthana as having received an illegal gratification from a company and CBI has recently registered an FIR for money laundering against the accused firm and some public servants.\u00a0Demanding quashing of Rakesh Asthana&#8217;s appointment, the petitioner has also sought a direction to the Centre to transfer him out of the agency during the pendency of investigation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attorney General KK Venugopal, on the other hand, argued that Rakesh Asthana had an outstanding career and\u00a0was looking after eleven zones and supervising high- profile scams including that of AgustaWestland, Kingfisher, Moin Qureshi and Hassan Ali.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While seeking Rakesh Asthana&#8217;s ouster, the plea noted the special director was the second in command in the CBI after the director and supervised almost all important cases being handled by the agency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
