Former ACP of Maharashtra police RV Trivedi has claimed that CBI director Subodh Jaiswal does not have the necessary experience in investigating anti-corruption cases. He has approached the Bombay High Court seeking quashing of the order, by which IPS officer Jaiswal was appointed as director of CBI.
Trivedi has denied having any personal grudge against Jaiswal. In his affidavit, filed through his lawyer Satish Talekar, he stated that he had filed the rejoinder affidavit only because a “calculated attempt was being made to mislead this court by twisting the facts and presenting a highly distorted picture before this court”.

Jaiswal in his reply stated that Trivedi had a personal grudge against him and that is why such a “malicious” petition had been filed by him. However, replying to it, Trivedi said, “As a matter of fact, Jaiswal had a personal grudge against me and, therefore, initiated false and frivolous disciplinary action against me. The government of Maharashtra had scrutinised the proposal to initiate disciplinary action against me submitted by Jaiswal and found that the charges were not supported by concrete evidence. The government, therefore, decided to withdraw the charges against me and close the departmental inquiry.”
Trivedi has also denied that he had filed the petition to harass and tarnish the image and reputation of Jaiswal.
