Digital Desk: Senior advocate R Venkataramani was on Wednesday appointed as the new Attorney General of India for a period of three years. He will succeed KK Venugopal, whose term ends on September 30. Earlier this week, senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi turned down the central government's offer of a second term as AG.
