It also vitiated the working environment of the organization which has deep and visible impact on the overall governance," CVC said.
Asthana approached the CVC with a complaint alleging interference by Verma in an ongoing probe and also demand of Rs 2 crore from the accused in another investigation.
CVC said three notices were served on Verma asking for an explanation asking for files and documents but Verma did not respond.
