The CBI had on 19 September moved the court seeking an arrest warrant against Rajeev Kumar.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is searching for former Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar after he failed to turn up at the city’s CBI office in connection with the probe into Saradha Scam on Friday, 20 September.
Officials are searching his Park Street house, the Ibiza resort in Kolkata and Bishnupur in North 24 Parganas.
Earlier in the day, Kumar appealed for anticipatory bail at Alipore Court, Kolkata. The same was conveyed to the CBI by his lawyers.
The agency, on Thursday, had issued a fresh notice, asking him to appear before it at 11 am in connection with the probe into Saradha chit fund scam, sources said, according to PTI.
Earlier in the week, too, Kumar had defied the CBI summons to appear before its investigating team at the CGO complex office in Salt Lake.
