CBI questions Kolkata top cop, former Trinamool MP

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) questioned Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar and former TMC MP Kunal Ghosh by making them sit face-to-face at the probe agency's office in Shillong in connection with the Saradha chit fund and Rose Valley scams, officials said on Sunday.

The questioning was done according to the directions of the Supreme Court.

Kumar and Ghosh were grilled in the initial period by a 10-member team of the CBI, the officials said.

The Kolkata Police chief was quizzed for nearly nine hours on Saturday by three senior CBI officers about his alleged role in tampering of crucial evidence in the case, they said.
