The Centre extends the tenure of CBI Director Praveen Sood by one year, according to multiple reports. The extension takes effect beyond the end of his current term, which is due to expire on May 24, 2026. The decision is made by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), acting on recommendations from the Selection Committee. Several outlets describe this as Sood’s second one-year extension as CBI director. News18 and other reports note that Sood assumed charge on May 25, 2023, for an initial two-year term. NDTV and India Today report that the extended tenure is set to run until May 2027. The articles broadly agree on the duration and the approving bodies involved, presenting the move as an administrative extension of the director’s term rather than as a change to policy or mandate.
