The central government has extended the tenure of Praveen Sood as Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) by one year, the second such extension since he assumed the role. Sood was initially appointed to the position on May 25, 2023, for a two-year term. Following his first extension last year, this latest decision grants him an additional year to continue leading the agency. The move aims to maintain continuity in the CBI's leadership amid ongoing investigations and organizational priorities.
