In yet another setback to top West Bengal police officer Rajeev Kumar, the Alipore District and Sessions court on Saturday rejected his anticipatory bail plea after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said he was breaking the law by evading its summons in the Saradha chitfund case.
Meanwhile, having failed to trace “absconding” IPS officer, the CBI on Saturday summoned five staff employed in his bungalow and his personal assistant for interrogation, sources said.
“Mr Kumar’s staffs were asked questions on whether he had been visiting the residences of other IPS officers. His driver was also asked as to which address he used to frequent these days.
Others were asked to report on whether his wife (a senior IRS officer herself) had been in touch with Kumar,” CBI sources said.
