CBI lookout notice against Kolkata ex-top cop Rajeev Kumar

Kolkata, May 26 (UNI): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probing the Saradha chit fund scam following a Supreme Court directive has issued a lookout notice against former Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar, accused of suppressing facts and walloping vital documents while he was investigating the Ponzi scam in 2013-14.

The lookout notice means the IPS officer would be handed over to the central investigating agency whenever he is found at airports or at ports across India.

CBI sources said the lookout notice was issued after Rajiv Kumar failed to get any anticipatory bail against his possible arrest in relations to the case.

Following his removal as ADG CID of Bengal by the Election Commission of India after violence broke out during BJP president Amit Shah’s rally on College Street in north Kolkata, four days before May 19 last phase poll here, IPS officer Rajeev Kumar is now attached to the ministry of home affairs in New Delhi.

The apex court this month withdrew its immunity-from-an arrest order on Rajeev Kumar in the case.

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