New Delhi: The Supreme Court (SC) today directed Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar to appear before the CBI, in investigations related to the Saradha Chit Fund Scam.
The Bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi, however, said that no coercive step should be taken against Rajeev Kumar. The SC has also issued a contempt notice to the Chief Secretary of West Bengal Government, the DGP and the Police Commissioner for allegedly detaining the CBI probe team. Rajeev Kumar will now appear before the CBI in Shillong. The case will be heard on Feb. 20.
