Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar To Be Questioned Today

Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar will be questioned in Shillong today by the CBI officials. He will be questioned about his role in Saradha chit fund scam.

Mr. Kumar will be questioned by CBI officials at two different locations first at the CBI office and later at an undisclosed location. The Supreme Court had fixed the Meghalaya capital as the venue for his interrogation, saying that its "neutral" status will prevent unnecessary controversy.Mr. Kumar has been lodged at a top hotel in the city. A CBI team from Delhi has already reached Shillong to question him.




The CBI has alleged in the Supreme Court that Mr. Kumar, tampered with electronic evidence and handed over documents to the agency -- some of which had been "doctored".Mr. Kumar led the probe by a special investigation team into the Saradha chit fund scam.

A major controversy had broken out on Sunday when a team of CBI officers went to Mr. Kumar's residence to question him but faced stiff resistance from the Kolkata police. Following this, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee staged a three-day protest to "save the Constitution".

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court had directed the Kolkata Police Commissioner to appear before the CBI and "faithfully" cooperate with the probe into cases related to the Saradha chit fund scam.
