Saradha scam: Rajeev Kumar fails to turn up at CBI office
India TodaySenior IPS officer Rajeev Kumar failed to turn up at the city's CBI office yet again on Friday, a day after the agency issued a fresh notice, asking him to appear before it in connection with the probe into Saradha chit fund scam, sources said. A special Central Bureau of Investigation team had been searching for Kumar, who is now the Additional Director General of Police in the Criminal Investigation Department, across various locations in Kolkata. Kumar was part of a special investigation team set up by the West Bengal government to investigate the scam before the Supreme Court handed over the case to the CBI in 2014, along with other chit fund cases. Disposing off the agency's prayer, the court said the CBI does not need its warrant against Kumar, as the Supreme Court and the Calcutta High Court had already lifted bar on his arrest in the chit fund case.
