- The meeting involved Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, who could not reach consensus on alternative candidates.

- The appointment of the CBI Director follows a fixed two-year term decided by a central government committee, with the option to extend the tenure for up to one year if a successor has not been selected.
