New Delhi/UNI: Former chief of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Ranjit Sinha passed away, here Friday morning, according to sources. He was 68.

On Thursday, he tested positive for Novel Coronavirus.

Sinha, a 1974-batch officer of the Bihar cadre, had held CBI Director post between December 2012 and December 2014.
