Topic Description:

The Supreme Court on 5 February directed Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar to make himself available before the CBI and "faithfully" cooperate with the agency in investigation of cases arising out of the Saradha and Rose Valley chit fund scams probe. The apex court said Kumar will appear before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for investigation at Shillong in Meghalaya. The apex court, however, added that no coercive steps, including arrest, will take place during the course of investigation. A bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi also issued a notice to Kumar and sought his response before February 20, the next date of hearing on the allegations by the CBI that he was tampering with electronic evidence and that the SIT headed by him provided the agency with doctored materials. The apex court also directed the West Bengal chief secretary and the director general of police to file replies on the contempt pleas filed against them by the CBI on or before February 18.
