On leave, can’t appear, WB cop tells CBI

Kolkata, May 27

Former Kolkata police chief Rajeev Kumar on Monday failed to appear before the CBI, which had summoned him for questioning in connection with the Saradha scam, and sought a week’s time citing personal reasons.

A CID official visited the CBI office in Salt Lake and submitted a letter by Kumar in which he said he is on a three-day leave and is therefore unable to attend the summon, officials said.

Kumar was reinstated as the additional director general of CID by the West Bengal government on Sunday night, soon after the model code of conduct was lifted. — PTI
