CBI issues fresh summons to IPS officer Arnab Ghosh, Rajeev Kumar

New Delhi, May 28 (IBNS): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has sent a fresh notice to IPS officer Arnab Ghosh, who was a member of West Bengal government formed SIT to probe the Saradha scam.

He has been asked to appear at the CGO Complex on Wednesday.

A second notice has also been served to former Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar on Tuesday.

Rajeev Kumar on Monday skipped the CBI summon in relation to the Saradha chit fund scam.

Kumar dashed off a letter to the CBI, seeking some more time to appear before the investigating agency.

Earlier, the CBI issued a lookout notice against Kumar, accused of suppressing facts and walloping vital documents while he was investigating the Ponzi scam in 2013-14.

The lookout notice meant the IPS officer will be handed over to the central investigating agency whenever he is found at airport or on land or at port across India.

The CBI sources with knowledge in the matter said the lookout notice was issued after Mr Kumar failed to get any anticipatory bail against his possible arrest in relation to the case.

He was removed as ADG CID of Bengal by the Election Commission of India after violence broke out during BJP president Amit Shah’s rally at College Street in north Kolkata, four days before May 19, the last phase election here.

IPS officer Rajeev Kumar is now attached to the Union home ministry in New Delhi.

The apex court this month withdrew his immunity from arrest in the case.

Kumar's counsels also made several unsuccessful attempts to get an anticipatory bail for him in some courts in West Bengal.
