More CBI sleuths in Kolkata as Rajeev Kumar moves court again

Thursday, 19 September 2019 | PNS | Kolkata

Even as the Central Bureau of Investigation roped in more officials from Uttar Pradesh and Delhi to “locate and fetch un-communicable and un-connectable” former Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar the senior IPS officer on Wednesday moved the Alipore district court with a petition seeking to be heard before passing any order relating to a non-bailable arrest warrant.

The CBI reportedly was preparing to move the court seeking a non-bailable warrant against Kumar who is currently the Additional Director General of CID.

The former Kolkata top cop continued to remain underground even as a desperate posse of CBI sleuths tired to locate his whereabouts.

Sources said a team of 12 officers including two SPs and an Additional SP from UP and Delhi had arrived at Kolkata to assist fetching Kumar who remained “un-communicable and un-connectable” for the fifth day on Wednesday since the Calcutta High Court removed his shield against arrest.

Kumar was earlier summoned by the CBI to reportedly interrogate him regarding his role in the investigation of the multi-crore Sharada chit fund scam as the head of the Special Investigating Team constituted by the State Government in 2013, months before the Supreme Court handed over the case to the CBI following allegations that SIT was tampering with evidence and mishandling the case allegedly to protect the influential people.

Earlier on Tuesday the Barasat district court had transferred the case to Alipore citing lack of jurisdiction. The Barasat court which is conducting the trial of the chit fund case heard petitions for non-bailable warrant of CBI and that of anticipatory bail of Rajeev umar before refusing to pass any order and sending it to the Alipore ACJM’s Court.
