The Supreme Court on Feb. 23 deferred by two weeks the hearing on CBI’s contempt plea against former Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar and others alleging non-cooperation by them in its probe into the multi-crore-rupee Saradha chit fund scam case.
The CBI, entrusted with investigating the Ponzi scheme cases in West Bengal by the apex court, filed the contempt plea on February 4, 2019 against Mr. Kumar, former Chief Secretary Malay Kumar De and State’s DGP Virendra saying that it was not getting their cooperation in the ongoing probe.
